A Common Man

A common man is always a target and a scapegoat for all miseries in India. Let it be hike in the prices of vegetables, provisions or to that even petrol/diesel.

Policies never keep in mind the needs and requirements of this common man. To that matter, coming to the justice, if a common man is involved in the same conviction getting the verdict to be prisoned like Sanjay Dutt for six years, is there any one to bother?

The common man’s family cries aloud and keeps distancing from others due to the societal score.

This is India? I am surprised that even eminent people in top political positions are showing their concern to Sanjay Dutt, who is a part of the gang that killed more than 250 people while injuring many.

I am not against Sanjay Dutt, but the issue that is pricking is why this not happening to any other person?

My dear fellow country people please think about this common man, who knows, one day you can be the target?
