Sir,
This has reference to the news item ‘Only Muslim can become CM’ DE Nov 13.
This is election time in the State. Almost every political party is in the fray. Election rallies are conducted in nooks and cranies to lure voters with promises of development, and employment. These parties have every right to lure voters to their side. But no political party has any right to polarise people on the region or religious lines. As the past practice shows, there is every apprehension that political parties won’t desist from such devious tricks.
Polarisation is in nobody’s interest in the State. The society is already divided. Further fissures will create suspicion, and animosity among people. The political parties should rather strive for unity among people.
They should provide a chance to all sections of society to participate in the State building. The State has seen much bloodshed in the past. Development is at its nadir. The State economy is in shambles. Employees and pensioners are dis-satisfied. Corruption is at its peak. The Government is dysfunctional. In these circumstances it is essential that political play a positive role, and take the State or the path of progress.
Yours etc…
