Is this death or murder by the system we are facing. What is left to the people who after working for whole life are left with nothing but to mourn for their savings and jobs. This is not the case of only one Sanjay, this is the case of the whole system. We have read many times never quit but what is left when we don't quit our life and circumstances make us quit.
Sanjay was left with no job and no savings. Wasn't he fighting but he lost his life while fighting. Now is government going to help by compensating with ex gratia payment to the next of the kin or will the government change the system by giving security to other people like Sanjay or otherwise it will be a fight for another week and then all the news social activist will forget and search for another topic to follow. We at MediaNews 18 is leaving it to the system to decide how can lives of people like Sanjay can be saved.
