Intolerance gripping our politics
The following lines in your February 14 editorial caught my attention: "It seems both the government and the opposition are bent on punishing the ordinary people -- one by its lack of governance and doing practically nothing to give the people even a minimum sense of security and the other by its determination to create as much obstacle to normal life as possible."
You will find very few people who will disagree with this view. People know who is doing what and for what purpose, regardless of what they say in their speeches. And this brings us to the main question: If these people are hell-bent on punishing the public and destroying this country as much as they can; why do we put up with them?
If we can answer the above question, I believe we can solve a lot of our problems.
