Letter from Anita Majumdar
Thu, February 23 2006

Anita Majumdar

My name is Anita Majumdar and I played "Davinder Samra" in Murder Unveiled that aired on CBC on Feb. 6, 2006.

Words cannot describe my relief to know that dramatizing Jassi’s circumstances has resurrected an outcry.

It frustrates me that Canada has turned its back on Jassi. For obvious reasons, I’m very attached to Jassi and injustice that surrounds her.

There is no just reason as to why Canada can’t extradite the family to India.

The evidence is there and it has been there for the last 5 (going on 6) years.

India changed the plea from 1st Degree Murder to 2nd Degree so to make it easier for Canada to extradite (Canada won’t extradite to a country that will inflict the death penalty on their citizens).

Canada has yet to respond.

What disgusts me is the arrogance. Jassi’s body was thrown in a ditch and her family didn’t have enough compassion to identify/collect her body.

Her mother-in-law had to perform the cremation rites.

The family couldn’t even be bothered to act like they didn’t have something to do with this.

I recognize that it’s not so cut and dry and that Jassi wasn’t perfect; she abandoned her family, she deceived them and stole from them for the man she loved, but at the end of the day, nothing justifies killing another human being, and especially not when it’s your own child.

This is the time for us to exercise our freedom of speech.

I encourage each and every one of you to write and express how you feel.

There are far too many cases, in this country alone, where innocent young women have had their lives stolen because a family member thought it was their right to do so.

Just because you bring a child into the world does not mean you get to take them out.

Anita Majumdar, Theatre and film actress
