Government Should Do something
by Prabodh Jain on Aug 04, 2008 02:41 AM   Permalink | Hide replies

Our Government has no value of life.. Such things have been going on for years at the Historic temples like Amarnath and all.. Hindu worshipper go to these places all the time.

Why not the Government widen the roads, open up the area to accomodate the crowd. Imagine how the Western country would have reacted if such thing had heppened there..

It is enexpected and unfortunate incident. The government is there to protect law, order, religious value and equality. They cant afford to widen the roads. Even if they do, there will be petty flower/camphor/agarbathi shops occupying the road and the temple trust will make money out of them. Temples are opened like pan shop at every corner of the streets accomodating as many gods as possible, obstructing the traffic and daily life. They cook up some stories unheard anytime before, as the legends behind those temples and exaggerete with some "puranic/vedic" incidents happened in that temple or in that spot. Then they to comomerate or represent that story, they organise an event and gather crowd. Still such madness exist, we cant stop such incidents. Just belive in god..dont have to celeberate him or his presence.
