NGO to hold World No Murders for Petty Reasons Day, 2009

Delhi: To increase awareness against murders committed for petty reasons, amongst criminals and especially murderers, with special emphasis on murders done by stabbing in the back, slitting of throat and poking foreign pointed objects in or towards genitals, Oamis, a Delhi based NGO, is organizing a workshop to commemorate the ‘World No Murders for Petty Reasons Day.’

“Every year, we conduct events as part of our No More Murders for Petty Reasons Mission from 11th-15th January, as we feel that such informative sessions for the criminals will help them to incorporate social concerns regarding such murders in their future enterprises,” said Oamis executive director, Suja Pijay Vukhija. Oamis or Organization of Aware Murdrers in Society’s “The No Murders for Petty Tour” for the murderers at the Tihar Jail on Tuesday is part of its week long No More Murders for Petty Reasons Mission, 2009.

The seventeen participating jails include Tihar Jail (Delhi), Alipore Jail and Vellore Central Prison to name a few important ones.

The workshop will initially focus on evidences of criminal activities that are related to murders for petty reasons over the last 100 years. However, the highlight of the event will be interactive session whereby criminals will be asked to enact situations and different kinds of murders for petty reasons (fake ones of course , you don't expect them to get nasty during workshop) they have committed or planned during their illustrious carrier.

For instance, while one group will enact stabbings and relate all the petty reasons to it, another will give combined history lessons on the industrial revolution and its effects on the murders for petty reasons. “These exercises will give us a clear understanding of what exactly is happening as far as murders for petty reasons are concerned and help us in incorporating this knowledge in any future research on the subject,” said, an obviously elated, Aadhika Tyer, a budding no-murders-for-petty-reasons-enthusiast. The best group will be chosen and given the coveted Murders Only for Non-Petty Reasons Trophy along with a prize money of Rs 2 lakhs.

Oamis, as part of its program, will also train five criminals from Tihar Jail as no-murders-for-petty-reasons-ambassadors. These criminals will be responsible for spreading awareness amongst other criminals and murderers inside and outside jail premises.

On the eve of week long workshop, the director of Oamis, N.P.M. Sevaram, had this message to give to all the criminals and budding criminal enthusiasts, “Let us all pledge that on Wednesday, 14th January, there will be no murders for petty reasons, such as a mobile (ok Nokia E71 and the likes excluded!), a hand watch (not even Rolex one, no exceptions for this one), a fake ring (in case of doubt always ask the concerned person, before embarking on the nasty stuff) or anything similar. Further, let us all pledge that in future no matter how urgent and pressing the need for money is, all murderers will adhere to no-murders-for-petty-reasons policy. If you need less money, than donate ‘extra money’ to some NGO; Oamis's own Donate-to-Us desk is always no further than a hand's length.”

On our part, we common people can only hope that the workshop is a huge success and is a pivotal point in shaping criminal history of the nation.
