Jayesh Prajapati: Premier Dalton McGuinty

Prajapati Dept: Here was an immigrant to this country, eager to share in the Canadian dream working hard and hoping to get ahead for the sake of his family. Prajapati earned a masters degree in India, in chemistry, but couldn t find a job in his field and was working at a gas station near Eglinton Ave. W. and Allen Rd. He considered it the first rung on a ladder to success, but would never climb higher, according to The Star. This needless death underlines the risks run by people working alone at night, in gas stations and convenience stores across the province. Premier Dalton McGuinty says his government will take a long, hard look at lessons that could be drawn from the tragedy. And Liberal MPP Mike Colle, who was on the scene shortly after Prajapati was killed, has some specific ideas and he was just trying to do the right thing, and it cost him his life. No wonder the death of 44-year-old Jayesh Prajapati has triggered so much sorrow and anger. Indeed, strong emotion is entirely justified. Prajapati was killed Saturday night when he attempted to stop an SUV driven by a career criminal intent on stealing $112 worth of gas. He was dragged to his death as the vehicle sped away, leaving his wife Vaishali, 11-year-old son Rishabh, and a community to mourn. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
