Two news items that appeared on opposite pages of Gulf News on October 28, 2006 is worth mentioning.
One report talks about the sorry state of Kuldip Singh, a bus driver with Delhi Transport Corporation who on this day last year courageously disposed off a ticking time bomb from his bus saving the lives of all of the 71 passengers on board; but in the process was grievously injured and suffered from complete loss of his eye sight.
Kuldip Singh and his family survive on a meagre income of 100 dollars per month. The fact that he is not getting any help from the government does not surprise me…!
I wonder what the 71 passengers - happily alive today thanks to Singh – are doing to help their saviour??? Have they grown as cold and thankless as their government..???
The other report talks about the arrest of two militants who were planning to blow up the Karnataka Legislative assembly building in Bangalore. The police have traced their satellite phone numbers and calls to Kashmir and Pakistan. Last year gunmen had attacked the prestigious Indian Institute of Science in Bangalore killing one scientist…
I wish the perpetrators of terrorism would put the money that they are spending to destabilise India to better use in their own country!!!
What noble cause can be served by violence, death and destruction…???
