2011 INDIA'S BAD YEAR

The year 2011 was a very bad year for India particularly in the term of partisanship and acrimony in the parliament where politicians from the various parties made mess of the house, lowering their own image and loosing the faith of the people. I appeal to all the political parties particularly Congress and BJP to put the bitterness and one-upmanship of the past year behind them and start the new year on a more positive note with co-operating with each other on many important issues related to the country and the people. I am not suggesting that all the differences between the two parties can be resolved, but asking for that they must come to the table and negotiate rather than oppose each other out of sheer cussedness to score the point. The Lokpal Bill is only one example of important legislation that can be brought into being if such a spirit of non-partisanship is inculcated which may result in that the country and the people will gain and the parties themselves will be gainers in the long run. After all everybody knows that nobody is permanent in office or in the opposition. It is high time all our parties must make the year 2012 the year of trouble free year in all aspect and work for the progress and development of the country which is the urgent need of the hour.
