This was not just a political tamasha, they have also made a mockery of the lives of thousands of people. Every morning in almost all the schools, the pledge is compulsory “India is my country. We all Indians are brothers and sisters….. bla bla bla…..Sare jahan se achaa Hindustan Hamara….all these also seem to be a Tamasha to the new generations. Think about the family of the HAL employee who was killed by MNS activists. The quantum of punishment for the person who should be held responsible for this killing was just a few hours of imprisonment and a bail amount of Rs 15,000. Is this the cost of a human life? Why shouldn’t a murder case be registered against MNS? This unnecessary and senseless violence has exposed to the world, the immaturity of the largest democracy of the world. The rich and powerful can easily get away with almost any crime they commit.
I completely agree with you….
