Is ideology above human empathy now? Why are people not talking about this?

Yesterday, I came across this news (JNU Professor Accused Of Harassment, Offered Extra Marks For Sexual Favours) and noticed a complete lack of discussion surrounding it. Some right-wing-leaning Twitter accounts claim that the professor is a member of a national party. One of the most frustrating aspects of the Indian political and social system is how the most vocal people stay silent when an offender shares their ideology, simply to prevent the opposing side from gaining political gain. If this pattern continues, how can we expect victims to find the courage to come forward and report misconduct?

We must rise above politics, and ideology and find the strength to oppose wrongdoing, regardless of the perpetrator's ideological alignment. An offender is an offender no matter what, even if they belong to our side. Unfortunately, the silence is relatively similar to the typical Indian mindset of “ghar ki izzat ki baat hai" (protecting the family's honor). Many people, especially women, place their trust in the left wing, believing it offers a better alternative to them. Is this how we are going to smash patriarchy or dismantle misogyny?

This is not an isolated incident; there have been prior instances where left-leaning individuals admitted to staying quiet about misconduct because the accused belonged to a minority community. This selective outrage (both from the left and from the right) is becoming a recurring pattern. I really want to ask: what are your thoughts on this silence from the left and from the mainstream media? Do people look at oppressed people by the system only as props to be used for their personal benefit?give this is title which ends with question marks like Why are people not talking about this?
