Is this all neccessary?

I was just wathicng one of the CNN IBNs video about the road blocks in Delhi and other NCR region over the Amarnath land issue. In the midst of the chakka jam, 70 Year old Gendaram died in the ambulance simply because the ambulance was caught in the jam. We should ask his family about the worthiness of this chakka-jaam.

Democracy gives the right to everybody to express his views / opinions, not neccessarily at the cost of other's lives. We should not forget that authority comes with the responsibility. There should be strict laws that restrict any political party/ organization/union to organize any chakka jams on National Highways, during office hours and the safe passage to the emergency vehicles should be guaranteed by the authorities.

I think now its time for us to introspect, is there any issue bigger than saving a person's life?
