Rahul Gandhi said, “A culture of greed and disrespect for other living beings is spreading in India. The air we breathe, the water we are forced to drink and the crumbling infrastructure around us are the results of this greed. Yuvraj Mehta’s death is a direct result of this culture.” “How we react to his death, how we respond to other people’s suffering, how we respond to other people’s suffering will determine the type of society we live in. What needs to be understood is that the direct consequence of treating other people badly is that you will be treated badly,” the Leader of the Opposition in the Lok Sabha said.
