I have never seen TCR City so deserted on a Day of Hartal before.Perhaps today's Hartan/Bandh was a historical one with none of the public transport system plying their vehicles.It looks all political parties except those belonging to the ruling front are directly or indirectly in the Hartal.Some ladies&school going children were on the road.No one cared for them today .Neither do they are being teased .They are free to walk on the roads as much as they do fel like walking.No interference at all.
When I looked into the nesw papers ,I came to know that there were ome ugly incidents on the national highway where a political party organised a Hartal against the collection of toll.The highway was initiated&toll introduced by the governing people of the earlier era I was told by a gentleman when I asked for the reason for today'Banth.The news paper reports ,however said on prompting police, by throwing stones against them ,the Police had no alternative but to resort to lathi charge in which some of the innocent people as well as political party leaders sponsoring the Banth/Hartal were injured.The Police was ,however, very kind to the leaders to take them in their vehicles to the hospitals to get them admitted/
In a nut shell it amounts to as if the Political party which organised the Hartan gave a stick to the police to get themselves to be beaten by the Police.
Obviously ,the idea could be to get get photographed in the hospital in a bandaged position to derive sympathy from Public which could be converted into votes in the forthcoming bye-election at Paravur.
At least the Banth Organisers should have thought about the serious consequences of their action as it happened in the case of Ramlila maidan incident in Delhi.A day back the Apex court had fined the organiser of the Agitation as well as the Police.
Same fate could happen here also as the Constitution of this Nation does not provide for committing Hartals/Banths by the Public.And the Political party members are just Public.So the Judiciary could reach them to punish them to reiiumberse the cost of damages caused ,if any,in the Hartal.to the public money involving life &property of individuals&those belonging to the Governeing people.The Public are just the Governed under the cConstitution of this Nation.
