The resurfacing of the Bofors issue in Parliament is like licking old wounds. What’s the use of raising such an issue and making a mountain of the mole hill. The Bofors pill has already been swallowed and digested by the Congress. As stated by Sonia Gandhi, the Congress should ignore the attacks on it concerning this issue.

One side, two coins

With reference to AG Noorani’s article Both sides now (February 27), there is nothing common between the two Kashmirs except religion. They have different economies and cultures apart from being parts of two different countries. Both Kashmirs were a single entity under the Dogra rulers for years. Now it’s useless to talk between the two Kashmirs, except to resolve the religion-based politics that has already messed up Kashmir.

Narrow thinking

I wonder whether only perpetrators of terror spread panic in the lives of ordinary people or the bureaucrats sitting in the air-conditioned rooms who make silly decisions. We saw this when Pakistani authorities decided to take all its injured patients back to Pakistan without taking into account their condition. I wonder which organisation gives more panic to the victims: terrorist groups or the bureaucrats, who just took this decision without any logic behind that.

Dignity for the aged

It is good news that Parliament has approved a new bill making it mandatory for ungrateful children to take care of their ageing parents. Most often, it’s well-off children who can easily afford to take care of their parents that ill-treat them. Doesn’t the government have a responsibility to provide a dignified existence to needy old people? The existing homes for old and destitute people are in a deplorable state, we need a bill to pull up these agencies.
