இதயம் நொறுங்கிப் போய் இருக்கிறேன்; தாங்க முடியாத, வார்த்தைகளால் சொல்ல முடியாத வேதனையிலும் துயரத்திலும் உழன்று கொண்டிருக்கிறேன்.
கரூரில் உயிரிழந்த எனதருமை சகோதர சகோதரிகளின் குடும்பங்களுக்கு என் ஆழ்ந்த அனுதாபங்களையும், இரங்கலையும் தெரிவித்துக்கொள்கிறேன். மருத்துவமனையில் சிகிச்சை…

A user commented- “Going into a crowd just because your favorite celebrity or neta is coming is foolish, especially when it’s common knowledge that all rules are flouted while organizing such events. The celebrity wants to show strength by flexing the size of the crowd, so safety becomes secondary.”
