Shashi Tharoor: “That’s where the problem should be addressed, not by fasting unto death.”

I honestly think that this is an unnecessary imposition by the central government of having to listen to all five verses every time.

It is honestly a deficiency of the government, and the government should be responsible and take action to fix the problem. Otherwise, it’s a betrayal of an entire generation.

The government, which is headed by Prime Minister Modi, has an overall responsibility. This must never happen again. This is not the first time, but it must be the last time.

It may ultimately have to be adjudicated because there is no law passed by Parliament requiring this. It is more a matter of convention.
