Dear Friends, I personally condemn attack on any people from any state also I feel sorry for people who lost their life. Also I personally condemn damaging public and private properties in lieu of private demands from government.
This is common phenomenon in India to damage public and private properties belong to other groups when some group is protesting or agitating for their demand. I did not say that demand of agitating people were right or wrong. It may be right in their terms. But why to damage properties of locals or public when demanding their personal demand. They should protest peacefully and submit demands to government. In India particularly Bihar and Jharkhand people organize BANDH 10 days average in a month for some of their demand and people who participate in BANDH take this opportunity to vandalise properties of other people like shops, vehicles (It is one of common targets), houses, public offices, public vehicles, trains etc. These people take this opportunity to MARK THEIR PRESENT AS NETA of certain group or society and they become INCH closer to get tickets from some political parties or in other terms GET ANOTHER POLITICAL MILESTONE in their career. They do not know these properties are there for their convenience. Why this vandalism ? I must say If those protesting people were protesting peacefully then this kind of attack would have been avoided. Have any news channels given inside stories of news for bus owners, shop owners, vehicle owners etc whose properties has been damaged in BANDH and protest ? In all streets of India there are hundreds of small shopkeepers who earn daily for food for their family. Everybody should respect others priority. I hope when people of India (Particularly Bihar & Jharkhand) understand this then our states also become heaven to stay and make other states heaven too. SAY NO TO BANDH.
