India's elected representatives paint a grim picture: 151 sitting MPs and MLAs face crimes against women, with 16 charged specifically with rape, per ADR's 2024 report. Recent uproars—from Kerala's expelled MLA Rahul Mamkootathil's three rape cases involving hotel assaults and forced abortions to Uttarakhand's Ankita Bhandari murder highlighting VIP cover-ups—expose a rotting core. Political parties nominate criminals knowingly, courts grant bails routinely, and conviction rates languish below 30%, letting power trump justice every time.
In Kerala, Mamkootathil's saga, from 2025 harassment chats with actress to December rape FIRs—thrived under Congress seniors' noses. His cruel misdemeanour had come to light long time back, the powers that be, remained in the ostrich mode for their own convenience. Despite viral audios and complaints, suspension came only post-second FIR, expulsion after bail denial. This mirrors the Hema Committee report's exposé on Malayalam cinema's "casting couch" mafia, where influence silences victims; post-2024, few FIRs registered, AMMA resisted reforms, and predators roam free.
Criminal oversight fails spectacularly: parties prioritize winnability over morality, high commands shield loyalists, police delay probes until public fury peaks, and governments invoke CBI only as optics. Money and muscle buy adjournments, witnesses vanish, and systems designed for the powerful mock the vulnerable. Hema's aftermath proves it—symbolic committees yield zero structural change, entrenched abusers thrive.
Kerala's malaise isn't isolated; it's India's Epstein moment multiplied, with political Epsteins from BJP to Congress enjoying patronage across states. Power corrupts absolutely here, turning democracy into a predator's playground.
INDIA DOES NOT DESERVE SEXUAL PREDATORS AND THEIR SYMPATHISERS IN POWER.
