Who gains from hartals?

The answer is inevitable, none other than the political parties who call them. Although the politicians claim it is for the best interest of the common people but the common people are the ones who are most affected by hartals.

Commoners like me feel that the political parties of our country are just the opposite sides of the same coin. They enjoy the sufferings of the common people for their own political gain.

Politicians in our country are busy satisfying their hunger for power. They have little interest or time to think of us. We are merely their tools for exploitation.
