A suicide committed by a "farmer" at the rally of a political party has created much hue and cry and it is seen that everybody is trying to twist the episode to his own benefit. First of all almost everybody blames Arvind Kejrival for not stopping the rally after the suicide and finally Arvind apologises for not doing so!!!
While Kejriwal blames Delhi police for not preventing the suicide, the Police blames AAP workers in not allowing to do their duty. Congress and AAP blames BJP for the plight of farmers leading to the suicide while BJP (and the police) suspect some calculated move in "staging" the suicide!
In all this melee nobody is seen condemning the very act of committing suicide at all. All the so called responsible political parties and leaders try to make mileage out of a crime committed by an individual (Attempt to commit suicide is an offence under Indian Penal Code). I wonder why the act of suicide is being eulogised!
If you see the entire episode impartially, the following points arise.
Among the thousands of rallyists assembled on the ground one persons suddenly climbs a tree, puts a noose around his neck in public view and jumps from the tree in the full glare of all those assembled and the cameras. Mr Kumar Biswas, leader of AAP is even seen appealing to the man to climb down from the tree.Was this time not sufficient to prevent the man from committing the act? In view of this all those persons assembled there includi ng the party leaders and police personnel on duty should be held accountable for "perpetrating to commit suicide" which again is an offence under IPC!
I also wonder, in a country where the death of an independent candidate in an election does not result in countermanding the election, why a rally called by a political party should be called off if a "farmer" commits suicide at the venue? ( I am sure I will be condemned by most to be inhumane for this particular statement, but as we say, the truth is always bitter!)
