There are some major reasons behind calling hartals –Lack of respect shown by the government to the opposite opinion: Sometimes Government shows little or no respect to the opposition regarding any certain political issue because they think respecting oppositions’ opinion means their disrespect & defeatation. So debates always go on resulting hartals are called for.
Showing
Frustration against the government:
In spite of having various alternatives of hartals, they are not paid any heed
by the government. As a result the alternatives remain restricted in the talk
shows. Because of there not being any other way to the oppositions to make the
government agree they call for hartals, come out from frustration.
Marking of
political Identity & Existence: It
is true that the parliament of our country is not being used properly for
practicing democracy by the politician of both the government & the
oppositions. As the Government can control most of those ways along with
electronic and print media, hartal is better way to let the common people know
about the issues disagreed by the rulers and the ruled than the other lawful
ways. Hartal is as if it were the most simple and the most effective way to
make an enormous political identity and also to keep themselves alive in
politics.
Governments
Tradition: “We are the rulers, the rest are bound to be
ruled so never pay any heed to anyone” is the only policy taken by all the
governments. As a result, every simple issue becomes bigger cause of clash
between the government and the opposition parties.
