Battle of law between a legitimate son and an illegitimate father.

Tweet

Everyone in India is now well aware that DNA test has confirmed the paternity of veteran politician ‘ N.D.Tewari and the honourable Delhi High court has declared Tewari to be the biological father of Rohit Sekhar and Ujjwala Sharma to be the biological mother’. The honourable Delhi High court gave this verdict in response to a petition filed by Rohit Sekhar that he was the product of physical relation of N.D.Tewari with his mother, Ujjwala Sharma. Tewari denied charges against him claiming that he had been framed but unfortunately he could not prove himself innocent before the honourable court. In this context, I cannot resist the temptation of quoting Rohit Sekhar after the verdict of the honourable court-‘I am not the illegitimate son of N.D.Tiwari but he is my illegitimate father’. We all know that Tewari is an eminent political figure of our country. He is a four time chief minister of Uttar Pradesh, former Union minister of India and was also appointed as Governor of Karnataka. So being a political leader at the highest level, he was supposed to bear a good moral character that would be a lesson to the young generation, but if such is the moral character of a national leader of his stature, what the young generation would learn? If the politicians of our country really expect any respect from people, they themselves ought to demand strong action against Tewari. As a common man, I was very much curious to know the views of other political leaders of our country on this issue and expected that in no way they would try to avoid the issue on the lame excuse of familial or personal affair? But unfortunately, all the political parties of our country; be it leftist or rightist, kept total silence over the issue. I am not sure what the present situation is but hope that law would take its own course and have full faith in the honourable court. What’s your view on it?
