I do agree here. In my personal view - BANDH (Economic Blockade) should be
fully banned in entire India. It was a different time, when Gandhi was started
non-cooperation movement or kind of BANDH against British Raj but, now days
certainly, it can't be justified by anyway. In India we changed the definition
of Politics and Social Work and other similar kinds of words. Also, it sounds
normal by Indian context as propelled by contextual problems though, its not
taken as a normal thing by entire global population. We all citizen should
seriously take this issue because, it is stopping and pushing us miles of step
back in the modern age of globalization, growing technology and so called
booming economy.

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.
With Best Regards :

Assam violence: 5 killed, curfew on Guwahati, IANS: An indefinite
curfew was clamped in Assams main city of Guwahati on Saturday after five
people were killed and more than 130 wounded, 30 of them critically, in a
mob attack on tribal protesters.
Trouble began when about 10,000 tribal people, backed by the All Assam
Adivasi Students' Association (AAASA), took out a protest march through the
city streets demanding scheduled tribe status.
"Residents of Guwahati and the protesters clashed in the streets after the
agitators went on a rampage damaging about 100 vehicles and destroying
shops.
The angry locals retaliated by attacking the protesters in which five
Adivasi people were killed," a senior police official said wishing not to be
named.
Police fired teargas shells to disperse the protesters when they tried to
break a security cordon to take out the march through the city streets.
"Local residents armed with sticks and iron rods, besides crude implements,
attacked the fleeing protesters and beat them mercilessly, " Parag Moni
Aditya, a witness, said."The mob attack took place after the protesters
started damaging vehicles and shops in the area," the police said.
"An indefinite curfew was enforced as a precautionary measure with the army
kept on standby in the city," C K Das, a magistrate, said. The injured,
including women, were shifted to hospitals. The tribals are engaged in
Assam's tea plantations. The AAASA has called a 36-hour sta-tewide strike on
Sunday.
