Consensus is best option
Apropos of the news story “Modi stresses on
consensus for statute” (THT, 26 Nov. Page 1), his call for consensus is timely when
the ruling and oppositions are at odds over the issue. He has also emphasized need
to draft the statute in such a manner that
no body should feel let down.
Why don’t the major political parties
become sensible and responsible leaving behind their petty political interests
to sort out their political differences? Do they have to be told by outsiders
to come to consensus? Are they not capable of doing their political jobs on
their own without outside interferences? They had completely failed to complete
their mandated jobs due to intra and inter party factional politics and blame
game during the first Constitution Assembly.
Both the opposition and ruling parties
should be flexible as much as possible to adopt the statute on time.
