Counter point
It is amusing that the nearly 100 minute long reply to the debate on the Motion of Thanks for the President’s Address in the Lok Sabha accuses the Opposition Congress party of promoting division in the country in addition to labelling it as the leader of ‘tukde tukde [break-up]’ gang (Page 1, February 8). It is the Bharatiya Janata Party that is dividing the country on the basis of religion and language and pursuing divisive policies. It is the BJP government that is initiating steps to destroy the federal and democratic set-up of India. It would be pertinent to mention the speech made by Congress leader Anand Sharma in the Rajya Sabha: “... the country belongs to all”. (Inside pages, February 8).
