As we have hard so many news by watching TV and reading news paper print or digital about this incident, but we can't say who was at fault in this incident. But our views is that the Ravindra Gaikwad is a member of parliament therefore he should have shown little restraint and also avoid using their slipper to beaten up the 60 year old AI staff, if the politician behave like this then what will happen to country.
What type of message the political leader want to send to the country. The leader must think before doing like that.
As a people’s representative the MP should have shown some restraint. A public representative just cannot go and beat the people like that. As an MP, one have to show humility.
The party image has also been carried by their respective MP so when such type of incident occurs the faith of the people in the democracy is shaken itself.
We don't know why the MP got provoked?It is also the matter of concern, it should also be find out.
We all know the India is democratic country, every citizen has right to express their concern but in right manner and the right ways also.
Keeping a side who was at fault in this incident, the whole incident is not good for the democratic country. We hope the public representative or any other passenger will learn something from this incident...
