As many as 600 Muslims from
Gosabar in Gujarat’s Porbandar district have filed an application in the high
court seeking a nod for euthanasia. A hearing on the petition will be held in the
coming days.
This is the first that as many as
600 people have applied for euthanasia at the same time.
The petitioners said that over
the last 100 years, around 600 people from 100 families have been involved in
the fishing business and the Fisheries Department had granted them a fishing
license.
However, the authorities of the
department concerned do not allow them to anchor boats at Gosabar or Navi
Bandar port and have been harassing them since 2016 due to which they are
facing a lot of hardships and want to end their lives, the plea said.
Despite making several appeals to
the higher authorities to resolve this issue, it still remains unresolved.
The petitioners in the
application said they are not involved in any illegal activity and also provide
security inputs to the security forces from time to time.
In the petition filed before the
high court, it is argued that the state government is discriminating between
Hindu and Muslim fishermen and is not providing the latter with adequate
facilities.
