Amritsar Rail Tragedy

• I will say that Amritsar rail tragedy is a man made tragedy made and done by the Indian railways.
• I will say it was done deliberately and with malicious intent.
• In this age of technology it is fool hardy to think that Railways will not know about a huge gathering on the tracks.
• The main thing was the trains to slow down to perhaps 20 or 30 kms per hour.
• What was the need to rush at 160 kms per hour.
• What is the use of signalling system if it cannot detect such a thing.
• I feel the driver should be sacked.
• Enquiry should be able to find out who gave the "Green Signal".
• Ideally the signal should have been orange and the train should have slowed down completely and should have blown the horn prominently allowing the people to move away.
• But when the train is coming at such high speed exceeding 120 kms/hr, people will have no time to react.
• There should be magisterial level enquiry to find out what happened.
• I will say since Railways which is owned by the Center and BJP is refusing enquiry is all the more glaring.
• BJP has done it deliberately to discredit the Congress Govt in Punjab.
• BJP kills Indian citizens for votes and power.
• Since election is there in 2019, BJP wants to make a issue out of a massacre by Railways and point it to Congress Govt.
• BJP has systematically destroyed Indian institutions over the last four years.
• Railways is just one of those institutions.
• I have seen in a railway crossing when people did not move fast enough, the trains from both directions stopped.
• This happened in Lingaraj Temple Road crossing when I was going by Talcher-Puri passenger and in opposite side from Khurda Road was coming Duranto express.
• I got down at Lingaraj station and was crossing the overhead bridge to exit the platform when I witnessed this.
• If trains can stop at such a case, why they go at 150 kms per hour at Amritsar.
• What is the rush?
• The rush is to kill the people and discredit Congress and Sidhu and Captain Govt.
• Shame on BJP.
• If Congress had been in power then BJP would have led massive protests and heads would have rolled.
• But in BJP no one is accountable or will ever be held accountable.
• BJP will blame the Congress Govt in Punjab while the Railways is owned by Center.
• I was refraining to post anything on Blogspot on politics.
• I was expecting things to sort out themselves.
• But this BJP-RSS Govt is making things from bad to worse and I just cannot take it.
• This tragedy of monumental proportions has jerked me off from my seat.
• In situations like this silence is not golden.
• Being silent is actually being complicit in the crime. Crime of murder.
• Where state institutions have been used as a weapon. Weapon against the people to massacre people.
