A Shocking News: Application for Mercy Killings of Sons! (Click on this Link to see the Video)
A farmer and his wife in Uttar Pradesh have sought President Pratibha Patil's permission for the mercy killing of all their four sons who have turned into virtual vegetables. The four, aged 10 to 16 years, have been afflicted by muscular dystrophy, a genetic disease that has confined them to bed.
On one side, we have a vibrant and modern India seamlessly marching ahead and wanting to achieve the horizon, where as on the Flip side we have a Poor Father wanting to kill his own sons due to poverty.
This is the ground reality which reveals the gap between the urban and rural India. How difficult it would have been for those parents to apply for mercy killings of their own sons. Can we ever imagine overselves in their situation? A Shivering wave of horror just passed through me on thinking of myself in their shoes. This also highlights the brutuality and inhuman attitude of the Mayawati Govt towards the backward and poor section of the society. When the UP Govt. has millions and billions to spend on the stones for Statues which will serve no purpose, why can't it step forward and intervene to reject this application of mercy killing?
I am sad and my heart is crying out for those four boys . What is their fault? To get born in a poor family or to get affected from muscular dystrophy ? Neither of them was in their hand, so should they pay the price for it.
I have faith in my Govt and my country men who will make sure that this mercy killing application is rejected and also ensure that the four boys get the proper treatment.
