Poor Gainda Ram and poor Santosh,one from Ambala and other from Kanpur. Both commited a fatal mistake both fell critically ill on the day of Chakka Jam a call given by VHP supported by BJP, both could not reach hospital in time and lost their lives on road surrounded by thousands of so called human beings supposed to be intelligent who can understand the pain of other human being. Now will any rational person empathise with the Amarnath Shrine cause? There is no dearth of irrational persons doing so. How will a son or a mother console themslves for this unecessary loss which can never be fulfilled. Protesting for any cause at the cost of human life can never be condoned at any cost.Why should a common man bow down for some unruly elements way of thinking. India has equal freedom of expression for each and every one, why it should be confined in the hands of handful who wants a piece of power pie through the pseudo religious route. The clarification given by VHP leaders makes one think if only Gainda Ram and Santosh were their close relatives would they be singing the same tune.
Communist rule in Kolkata, Muslim organisations in Kashmir and other organisations elsewhere where bandh calls are given on flimsy ground make the common man suffer. Supreme Court of India has declared bandhs illegal. Claim compensation for all the delays, inconvenience and inefficiency of the government to run the administration and the traffic smoothly inspite of the bandh call and make the criminals giving bandh calls pay heavily for their crimes to the humanity. That is the only deterrant and fitting tribute to the departed soul, in sight.
