Over the past one week a debate has been going on all over the media, all over the nation; “Has A.R.Anatulay really embarrassed the nation?”
Well, now there is a bigger question; - Haven’t we embarrassed our nation enough by giving so much importance to a statement (followed by a series of statements) made by a senile politician?
Democracy – of the people, by the people & for the people. If it is so, then why can’t Anatulay make a statement without instigating a controversy? Being a part of a political party should not mean that a party member has to always nod his/her head in favor of what some of the party heads think wise. If that’s the case then the whole purpose of
Every statement, whether political or non-political will be tested by the public’s support in the democracy. If the ‘people’ say its wise, then it would be accepted unconditionally and if the people term it otherwise then no one can force the acceptance of that statement to any class of the society.
It is time to focus on bigger issue, - How do we tackle terrorism? What Anatulay has said has no significance to any living (or dead) soul in this nation. It is high time we drop this issue and divert out attention towards the activities of
