“Nobody kills themselves 2 end their life, they do so 2 end the pain.” Take a moment,feel the pain not look for gain & stop the blame game!


@waglenikhil
Interesting:Media targeting AAP n Cong, but not asking questions to BJP.Farmer who committed suicide was from Rajsthan, a BJP ruled state.


@suchetadalal
All major prime time channels, screeched & emoted for 1hour, without finding out abt farmer-AAPtivist. As much a tragedy as Gajendra's death

@kamaalrkhan
I will review suicide drama of a farmer at #AAP rally at #JantarMantar n explain the role of media n police.

@madhukishwar
Its not just loss of one crop that leads farmer to commit suicide.Its sense of total despair at the future of farming communities in India.

@hardikkapdi
Maybe he was neither a farmer nor poor but the fact remains that his three children are now without a father.

@UpeshBhatt
RIP Delhi Police... RIP Humanity
It was not the farmer who died yesterday... It was the death of humanity and Delhi Police...

@digvijaya_28
Farmer's suicide in AAP Rally. A set up which failed or a genuine suicide? Police must investigate. But callousness of Kejriwal shocking.

@kiranshaw
Extremely pained to hear about the farmer’s suicide. Shocking that such a tragedy happened in the midst of a big crowd.

@hsalve
Death of the distressed farmer symbolizes what is wrong with the Indian polity. Politics is povertarianism practiced by all oblivious /2

@hankypanty
Farmer kills self.
But, let's argue over which party was responsible.
Because, actually preventing more farmer deaths would be real work.

@AdityaRajKaul
We all together have failed humanity. We all as a society have killed the farmer Gajendra Singh. Today we will cry. Tomorrow another day.

@dennistarapore
Only fools would make a farmer suicide an AAP issue. It is a larger, deeper problem, all parties MUST address nationally @AamAadmiParty

@sanjaypugalia
Made for television movement finally killed the farmer at #AAPKisanRally. No remorse or regret! I sadly recall terming AAP as Peepli Live!

@priyankac19
Which state he comes frm whr he chose to die is something we can debate. But rural&farmer distress is a reality which govt is ignoring.

@Joydas
Gajendra. We know the name of this Farmer who committed Suicide. Thousands of other such farmers who died are just Statistics

@mehranzaidi
Media must also introspect. Why do we have prime time debates on 'Where is Rahul' and AAP internal fights instead of farmer plight.

@amit12_tweet
How culd on the earth land bill be the reason for Farmer suicide? When its not implemented yet.A drama horribly went wrong #AAPKilledFarmer

@Sumanmjoshi
Like other AAP events why were there no Bouncers at #AAPKisanRally they could have easily saved the farmer #AAPKilledFarmer #KillerKejriwal

@manish2070
A farmer died in public view and everyone is busy doing politics! Irony of land of farmers! #AAPRallyMurder

@ravikowshik
Rally continued even after a poor farmer's hang up......usual politician with fake blanket.....hupps...... #AAPRallyMurder
