And then by the evening, we learnt that even the Prime Minister’s Office had taken cognisance of the incident. So, was it the Prime Minister himself who was aghast at this undoubtedly shameful incident? Or was it some babu in his office who surfs the internet during lunchtime to find a suitable poem on protecting the environment which his daughter can use in her school debate? Who decides at the PMO what to take cognisance of and what to ignore and let pass like thousands of shameful incidents recorded every day across India? Does the PMO even know how many young children have died in and around Delhi in the last few years by falling in open manholes? Has it even heard of five-year-old Mahi Upadhyay who died after falling in a bore well a few kilometres away from Gurgaon, a city proclaimed to be Manhattan by its Congress chief minister? Was the PMO’s consciousness shaken by the abuse of the 101 inmates of a shelter in Haryana’s Rohtak, the home town of the state’s Chief Minister, Bhupinder Singh Hooda, and the Lok Sabha constituency of his son and one of Rahul Gandhi’s favourite young guns, Deepender Hooda? Is the PMO aware of how some girls aged between five and ten were sexually abused by the manager of the home, Jaswanti, and her son-in-law and his friends? Does it know that they were forced to drink liquor and then colour put on their private parts and how they were sexually abused?
