Why should patients suffer during hartal?
Patients suffer most during a hartal. They face tremendous problems to reach the hospital. Doctors fail to attend their patients in time. During the last hartal I also had much trouble to rush my younger sister to hospital, who suddenly got sick.
Calling hartal or strike is a democratic right of political parties. But hartal often violates human rights of the common people who need to go to their workplaces. Leaders of both ruling and opposition parties are escorted by their public or private security forces but common people face great difficulties to travel to their destinations. I think government has a sacred responsibility to take appropriate measures to avoid hartal. The opposition should not harm the common people through violence.
