Every one is equal before the law. Our constitution provides equal opportunity to all its citizen. Whether he is a VIP or common man. But it seems that basic principal of the constitution, is not being followed in the country. Congress general secretry Rahul was allowed disaster tour of Uttarakhand, while Gujrat Chief Minister Narendra Modi was stopped from going there. While all politicians had equally helped victims by taking parts in blame game. All had entertained the vicitim's relatives by verbal exchanges . After a natural disaster, no politician miss the opportunity of blame game. There is misconception in the country that after natural disaster, all countrymen should be united and they should focuss their attention on relief works. But it means that discrimination should be allowed in the country. In my view, after a disaster all relief works should be stopped and a country wide debate should be started on who should be allowed a natural disaster trip VIPs, political leaders or commonman. This issue should not be left pending. Advertisements should be published in all national daily, seeking people opinions over this. Seminars should be held in all part of the country to discuss the issue. Pannel discussion should be organised on all news channels to know the experts views on this. Finally, special session of parliament should be convened to discuss the issue and pass a necessary legislation. It may be mentioned here that in a free and civilized society, there should place for such debate. Such dicussions also show that the number of intellectuals are growing in the country. No political meaning should drawn from such discussions. Disaster tour should also be also promoted in the country to revive the country's economy.
