Holding Mumbai Hostage!!


The statue of SS Head's wife is vandalised, which is condemed by one and all.
But should it amount to Mumbai Bandh or Maharashtra Bandh??

Buses being burnt, rasta roko, stopping the trains!!
Which person's soul would want all that to happen if some miscreant spoil's his/her idol!!?
Sentiments maybe hurt, but people cant go around vandalising Mumbai!!
Shops that shut down voluntarily did that out of fear, not in any anticipation for bandh.
Bandhs have been banned by the court, i guess way back.
Condeming shouldnt be done by closing down the city, holding it at ransom, pelting stones on public property and shops.
Bhandup case, in which policemen were killed is being projected by SS as absence of law and order, but rather its the irk of citizens that spills in some or the other form. And how rightful is a person who claims that 'the government has failed in providing proper law and order. people just do whatever they want"; invoke bandh, burning of buses. Isnt he supposed to shun from violence himself?

And the news keeps pouring in...all afternoon, from different parts of the state. Mumbai just had its share of monsoon woes(instead of enjoying the beautiful rain, people make frantic calls, try reaching home or reaching out to know about their dear ones as soon as they see incessant rains) , calling for a bandh, blocking the western express highway... Mumbai has no relief.

Country's commercial capital pays more than enough taxes, still doesnt have good urban infrastructure. (South Mumbai remains fine, while the 'burbs get flooded in filthy gutter water) To add to it we have these Bandh-planners, which just amounts to mega business loss for that particular day.
Who gives them the right to hold Mumbai hostage?



PS: a point to be noted.. some the protestors were cheerfully smiling on their way, while making all those obstructions whenevr some news channel's camera was on; as if they were out on a sunday morning walk!!! So much for the so-called sentiments that were hurt!!!

PS 2: about a total loss of Rs. 1 crore which doenst cover the business loss of closed shops and markets.
Who pays for this huge loss?
Was this a planned strategy?? just to get focus n limelight on SS??
'No bandh' was declared.. was it because of the 25 lakh fine slapped on SS fro the Aug '03 band?!
Isnt it the party's responsiblility to look after the statues put up by them??
What about the statues of nation's great leaders who have pigeons n doves shitting over them?

PS 3:
A girl in bhandup is hit by the SS miscreants' stone hurrled, jus to disrupt normal routine.
She lies in a hospital , wounded with multiple injuries.
How was she guilty to suffer this if some party-head's wife's statue is being vandalised??!
Who pays for her medical expenses?
