नजीब के लिए देश की जानी-मानी सियासी हस्तियां गुरुवार की शाम जेएनयू प्रशासनिक भवन पर इकट्ठा थीं. जब यहां शशि थरूर अपनी बात रख रहे थे, तभी एक चीख सुनाई दी. यह चीख नजीब की मां की थी. ख़ुद को संभाल पाने में नाकाम नजीब की मां अचानक दहाड़े मार कर रोने लगीं. रोते हुए वो चिल्ला रही थीं, ‘अरे कोई तो मेरे बेटे को वापस ले आओ. कहां है मेरा नजीब.’

उत्तर प्रदेश। यह आत्महत्या का महिमामंडन नहीं है। लेकिन आत्महत्या दुख और भावनात्मक लाचारी के चरम से पार कर जाने के बाद का कदम है। इसे जो लोग मानसिक रूप से बीमार व्यक्ति का लक्षण मानते हैं, वे शायद सही ही कहते होंगे...क्योंकि वे ऐसा मानते होंगे...!
