Self- immolation!

It's really very shocking a young man in his thirties has had recourse to self immolation for some reason or other.What's no less shocking is the way a political party tried hard to hush up the incident and project it as an incidence of no consequence.A responsible member of the opposition hastened to say even without primary investigation that the man was mentally deranged and so there was nothing to clamour about the incident.Such an off-the- cuff remark is really unfortunate.On the other hand, it's equally sad some poltical parties are trying their best to derive a political mileage from this tragic issue particularly before election .It's not exactly as yet known why the man resorted to such an extreme step to end his life.However,contrary to Opposition leader's apparent conviction that the man is mentally ill,people of his locality and his dear and near ones have certified the man as normal and is in the bargain of philanthropic disposition.Though he's a TMC activist but he's very popular to all cutting across party line.Some say he went to Mamata's to report to her rly forms are being sold in her name for employments but he could't meet her as she was in Delhi.Out of frustration he doused him with kerosene from a jar and put fire to it near Mamata's house.Such an explanation is too naive and can't be believed.But as kerosene was with him, he went to Mamata's prepared for self immolation.Why did he take such an extreme step?It's a very difficult question-so queer is the human psychology!He's now battling with death at hospital and let us pray for his recovery.Only he can answer this million dollar question.
