PUBLIC PROTEST MUST BE IN A DISCIPLINED MANNER.

Kerala must be the headquarters of public protests in the world. For anything and everything we protest in our own ways by inflicting maximum injuries on ourselves. There are cases of people met with accidents and thereby injured seriously were prevented on the way from going to hospitals by protestors and consequently falling dead. Similarly women with serious labour pain were blocked enroute to hospitals. So many KSRTC buses were severely damaged. Large number of private cars and buses were damaged. Closing of shops is a must do item. Anyone refuse shall be dealt with severely. Pelting stones on shops and creating maximum damages is an inevitable part of the protest. Whatever may be the protest for, schools and colleges shall certainly be kept closed.

During these days, protesting against anything by preventing the traffic on roads, closing shops and educational institutions etc are the most outdated way. Now, think about the outcome of these protests. Many have been doing strong protests against the hike in petrol prices for quite sometime. Could they get a rupee down by these protests? At last they have stopped protests against fuel price rise now, 'when it has become a daily affair'. If we have a strong reason to protest against anything, the most result oriented way is to approach the judiciary. One should not forget the truth that these wild protests have severely hit our tourism industry. When other countries are bagging millions from tourism we are contented with our paltry thousands.

Above all, whether it is protest or hartal, under no circumstances, destroy anything, block any roads, close shops, offices and educational institutions. Therefore, if at all a protest is inevitable, straight away approach the judiciary and keep away from closing anything and destroying anything.

We must realise the value of happiness and peace of our lives than this stinking and dirty politics.
