Ram Prasad Bismil- Betrayed by Congree Luminaries

Ram Prasad Bismil-Betrayed by Congress

Extract from my Letter dated-26-03-2006 to Law Minister- Titled -India’s Judiciary-Government’s Harem
Posted in July on this blog-
Sir during the British period when corruption was not so rampant in other departments, even at that time the legal profession left much to be desired, take the case of The great Indian freedom fighter Ram Prasad Bismil:-his case was in appeal under the Title Ram Prasad v Emperor…I now Quote from the judgment of the appeal (refer to A.I.R 1927 Oudh 369 (1) ….page-375… “the three appellants Ram Prasad, Rajendra Nath Lahiri and Raushan Singh, who were sentenced to death subject to confirmation by this Court, became entitled, under a practice of the local Government which has been in force for some years, to legal assistance at the expense of the Crown. The appellants, who had not been sentenced to death, were not under this practice entitled to legal assistance at the expense of the Crown. But as a special case the Crown has allowed those, who did not appoint private Counsel, legal assistance & paid for it. Ram Prasad in his petition of appeal, demanded as of right to select his own counsel. He stated that he would only be satisfied if he was represented by a Gentleman called Mr Gobind Ballabh Panth ….. The Crown approached Mr Gobind Ballabh Pant and offered him the brief. He refused to accept it on the fee that the Crown was ready to pay.” Ram Prasad Bismil was sentenced to death & executed & this greedy lawyer, Gobind Ballabh Pant, who had refused to defend the great freedom fighter only because of money went on to become the Home Minister of India & the longest serving Chief Minister of Uttar Pradesh & has hundreds of institutions/roads/mohallas named after him…….If you would care to read this judgment further sir you will be ashamed of your party because most of the witnesses against Ram Prasad Bismil were Congressmen. Therefore when such a party assumed power after independence it can well be imagined what sort of system they would put in place.
