No matter what the issue is , a Bandh is never justified because it us a kind of blackmail that political parties use without caring for the citizens . If there is a calid issue that needs to be addressed it should be done in a peaceful protest , without inconveniencing the people . This is the problem with democracy , any Tom, Dick and Harry can call the shots and make people suffer. Yesterday a little girl died because the protesters stopped and did not allow the vehicle in which she was being taken to a hospital . It is the height of inhuma ity and arrogance that the opposition calls their successful at the cost of a child's life ...

Bandh is favorat and common to protest. Mostly parties claims that bands are peaceful, but it is not true. Many unsocial elements and some profession experts always welcome these bands. Its provide them chance of looting. This bandh is a politically stunt. If congress and other parties are serious than, they first reduce taxes in state where is their government. I am also against rise of fuel prices, government must be reduce burden of taxes. Rajasthan government cut in VAT by 4%. 

Under no situation bandh is justified and it does not matter which party Congress or BJP supports it. It is the common man that suffers and it is a loss to the nation on whole.

I don't think bandh is justified in any case. Many of the people die as they don't be able to reach to hospital on time and many other things get suffered due to it. Opposition may or may not get anything with it but we common people do suffer due to it. 

Where is the justification in throwing stones at public transport, taxis and indulge in mob violence. It just shows the kind of mentality our politicians have. Public interest is last priority , it is just self interest at any cost .

People think that by disrupting the normal life and destroying public property, government will meet their demands which is true most of the times. People who destroy government property during any protest should be given very strict punishment but ultimately the government will use the tax payers money to compensate the loss. Also government should not agree to demands if there is violence in protest

Opposition have no means with public, they are working only one agenda how to come in power. No one favor bandha and any other means of agitation which uphold routine life of public.

You are talking for punishment, what is situation, during jatt agitation in Haryana, agitators, it is better to say unsocial elements, were burns  property of million, they rape, they looted shops and houses. Know  government withdraw case from most of unsocial elements. It is also happen in Gujjar agitation, they stop trains,uproot railway treks, but government withdraw cases.

Did they rape during agitation? This is rediculous and why they were not punished for it more strange. 

Maybe you would call me undemocratic but the fact is that all Bund, strikes, hunger strikes and protests are nothing but political stunts. The first thing we  should do is to make them illegal especially strikes by government and trade unions since these are nothing but blackmailing. A government servant and employees of a private company are bound with a contract so how can they go for making demands against the rules especially for hike in salary since they are getting their due increment regularly?  I can go to the extent of saying that all found striking against the rule and paralyzing the services should be sacked immediately (No suspension but dismissed)
