Advani
slams Govt in suicide case
New
Delhi: With the general elections just round the corner,
political parties have started wooing voters and the blame
game has also begun. Senior leader of the main opposition
Bharatiya Janata Party, LK Advani, on Saturday held The
government accountable for the recent incident wherein
seven members of a poverty-stricken family tried to commit
suicide. Due to financial instability, a couple and their
five minor daughters attempted suicide by consuming poison
at their residence in West Delhi on Wednesday. The couple
is admitted in the hospital wherein their situation is
said to be critical. Advani met the five girls who are
admitted in a private hospital here and are now out of
danger. Expressing deep concern over the incident, he
said: "Essentially any government which has been in office
for five years, if at the end of five years, this is the
situation, then government has to be accountable." As
per reports, the family had severe financial problems,
as the head of the family was unemployed. Unemployment
and five daughters in the family could have forced them
to consume poison. The opposition parties hope to raise
the matter during the election campaign.
