Sir,
It is indeed painful and equally shameful that even when hundreds of
children go sick no body is held responsible. Why is the government so
silent on this issue ? Is it because the victims are powerless or the government
is scared of the exposure?
I would like to draw a parallel here to the "Akshaya Patre" started by
ISKCON and now funded by BMP. The amount of money that goes into the two
programmes is roughly the same. But in the later case, the management of
the funds is done by an unselfish setup. Not one child has fallen sick since
the day of its inception.
For those who know that they are responsible for this incident:
Please don't take a cut from a morsel of food earmarked for a child. I know
that government is too impotent to bring you to light and punish you...
I hope your conscious gets better of your greed and stop taking advantage of
little kids.
Thanks
