When Supreme court lacks common sense

The supreme court of India has been dealing with the Sree Padmanabha Swami Temple in a casual way. It has ordered a seven member committee to take estimate of the invaluable assets of the temple, but has not given a direction not to make it public.

Everyday, we hear from the media that so many precious gold ornaments and diamonds are discovered from the centuries old, well-maintained store rooms of the temple. The members of the estimate committee are eager than anyone to address the media to announce their findings as if they are doing a extra ordinary act of courage. It is a pity that media, especially the christian run Malayala Manorama has been publishing the detailed drawings of the storage areas quietly ignoring the fact such information can be extremely dangerous once it reaches the hands of terrorists, notorious international gangs, etc.

The members of the estimate committee and the media are trying to capitalize on the very sensitive information ignoring the feelings of crores faithful Hindu community. They are trying to project themselves as the saviours of our Maha Kshetra.

It is totally degenerating to see that neither the Supreme court nor the estimate committee comprising of former judges and well known bureaucrats use their basic common sense while dealing with such sensitive findings.
