Saugata Roy (Dum Dum): Madam, on behalf of myself and my party, I express deep anguish and sorrow at the suicide of a farmer, Gajendra Singh Rathore, from (the) Jhamarwara village in Dausa district of Rajasthan. The suicide took place in full view of television cameras while a rally by the Aam Aadmi Party was going on. In the suicide note or the note that fell from his pocket, it was revealed that he had lost his crops. His father had turned him out from the house and he did not know how to feed his three children, which was driving him to desperation.Now, here, two points emerge from this. One is the immediacy of the matter that how unsympathetic our polity and society have become that he climbed a tree at 12.25 p m. He hanged himself only at 1.50 p m. There were people, there were policemen. Nobody took any step to bring him down or to persuade him to come down. Meanwhile, the media was busy filming what he was trying to do.The home minister is here. He has said that he will inquire
