Bandh

A bit of melodrama.......some tears...........some hysteria and the mobs are out. Trains are being stopped in West Bengal.........people are being inconveninced....... but who cares.

After some drama over the TATA project at SINGUR and the leader of the opposition not being allowed to go there; she returned to the State Assembly and smashed the place. News has it thet she too was roughed up and the end result another bandh tomorrow. Why? To champion the cause of the farmers; but what about the daily wage earners who will go hungry tomorrow....... or the sick man who may have to be rushed to the hospital .... or the image of the state in the eyes of the world at large. But who cares..........the farmers have to be "protected". Their land has to be protected and for a few hundred people if the state is held at ransom who cares.

Why is the train driver pulled out of the engine and slapped at a local railway station today? The reason being that he was doing his duty and did not know it was a crime to drive the train when the leader of a prominent political party was angry and had called a bandh the following day. He was too focused on taking people back home after a hards day of work and did not think it was also his duty to protest against the ruling party for giving the land at SINGUR to the large business house. So he was wrong and should be punished; and tomorrow we will abuse him if he does not do his duty properly.......hahahahaha.
