Truckers Hold India to Ransom

Via: Times of India

Our strike is continuing as there has been no initiative from the government to solve our issues and we will continue till our demands are met,” All India Motor Transport Congress President Charan Singh Lohara told to Times of India

It just seems to be a quarterly thing – part of life in India now. It’s obscene that this happens every quarter of the year and it feels like they do it just because they can, Misuse of democracy.

Chaos at Petrol Pump: Source Times of India

 

I think the greatest of our achievements of country is that we have destroyed the very pure meaning of Democracy by letting these sorts of unions to hold the whole country to ransom. It is so wrong and unethical way of Unions to show their anger and demands. You cannot hold the country to ransom. Strike is not the only solution; there are many alternatives to air grievances. Unions’ leaders should understand that they have to be rational and must understand that strike may not solve the core issue but it will create more chaos. They must respect and protect true spirit of Indian democracy by using it in ethical way to express their grievances.
