Dear co-petitioners, As we recuperate from the long weekend which gave us the opportunity to celebrate Dussehra and Gandhi Jayanti. Dussehra which signifies that the victory of good over evil is worth celebrating over centuries. Mahatma Gandhi, an icon who transcended nationalities and religions across generations once said "For me, Rama and Rahim are one and the same deity. I acknowledge no other God but the one God of truth and righteousness." HOWEVER, In this land of Ram and Gandhi, there were a few people this weekend who did enjoy a holiday, but could not partake in the festivities. There were no delicacies which were dished out of the kitchen, perhaps staple food was a struggle. Kids were not given new clothes, for reasons they find difficult to understand. All this because after having rightfully worked people in this country still don't get paid salaries and employers are least bothered. Most of the visitors on the petition page often wonder how a few hundred people will ever make a difference, we know from history even one can. I hereby assure you all that after the last leg of this online petition on 4th November 2017 (petition will continue online), with how many ever signatures we have till date, I will personally ensure the petition in the form of a hard copy is sent across to the 4 key decision-makers we are petitioning. A Chnge.org legit update received by me said that only 15% of petitions ever see over 50 signatures, good news is we have crossed 200. THIS MAY NOT BE ENOUGH. Over the next 30 days, I would urge you to share this across social media platforms, tagging like-minded and positive thinking people and asking them to further propagate it. So that we have a number in terms of signatures, so strong that it makes it difficult for the policy-makers to ignore. It may be an issue you have not encountered, however it is also an issue no one should ever encounter. Looking forward to your support and co-operation. Regards, Priyank.
