Yes it is sure a sad day for Karats. The Comrades who boast themselves of ideology have to team with BJP and lost the right to talk about communalism any more.
True, it is sad about the turn of events that unraveled in the Parliament today but it also showed that BJP will go to any extent for its Political gains and Personal Prime Ministerial ambitions.
Yes, We are a maturing democracy and we need to go a long way to be a matured. We all need to be part of this process and not blame the politicians for the same.
Do not loose hope, we achieved a lot on the past 50 years and will a lot more in the coming 25 years. There will be hurdles but we will overcome.
