Violence unleashed for the sake of ‘Gaddi’
The violence unleashed by the mob yesterday on Bharat Bandh did so much damage. Ten lives were lost. Buses were burnt, railway tracks were uprooted. People were put to so much difficulty. As an example a family known to me consisting of husband wife an old mother and two small kids were returning from Shirdi by Jhelum Express. The train halted at Agra and could not move ahead as the protesters not only blocked the route but uprooted rails also. Stranded for eight hours at Agra Railway station they finally took a cab leaving late in the evening and reaching their home in Delhi at midnight. For what purpose common people were put to so much misery. Supreme Court order had just stopped the practice to arrest anyone and without bail against false or vindictive complaints. In any case the Government had decided to appeal against that order. I think it is all politics. Desperate to unseat Prime Minister Modi and come back to power the political parties are playing every dirty game even getting people killed. The dalit card is one of these games. What have they done for Dalits all these years when they were in power. The fact is that they are not going to succeed but much damage is being done to the harmony and peace among communities.
