The recent kidnapping of two Hindu citizens from Bhong serves as a stark reminder of the government’s failure to ensure the safety and security of all its citizens. This incident is not just deplorable; it is a glaring indictment of the state’s inability to uphold its primary responsibility—protecting its people. Security should not be a privilege; it is a fundamental right for everyone, regardless of their faith or financial status. The recent spate of kidnappings lays bare the grim reality that our government has consistently failed to protect its most vulnerable citizens. This is not merely an issue of law enforcement; it reflects a deep-seated failure to prioritise human life and dignity.
