    I too agree on Alfred. If something happens in any part of the country people just think of strike. They never think how much productivity will be lost because of this Bhandh, which does not have any connection to normal citizen.

    If they really want to fight on this issue, let them fight with governement legally,not by doing some hungama through strikes. It may lead to loosing life of so many people. So let people work in calm mind rather than doing things which is not beneficial to any one. If people really want to fight let them fight against corruption, and other serious issues in the country.

    Instead of making Bandh, by which our state will suffer huge losses, the VHP, BJP and other supporters should go to Kashmir and fight with those who oppose giving the land to the shrine. Why they do not do that? State Government of Kashmir tried their best for the Shrine, but when they saw unrest and unruly situations they held back the decision.

    Now Advani is slowly trying to bring out the hidden religious agenda of BJP declaring to build Ram temples every where, for which I have nothing to say but they must take the responsibilty if there is unrest in the country. Yes, we have the right build holy places provided they do become bone of contention.
