In India we are fighting two viruses, one preventable and the other just incurable

Samikhsya Bureau

What are the issues those make the headlines today. Two have catapulted to the orbit of politics of the day and socially too.

One is the Coronavirus that stalks all of us and the second one is the man-made political virus that quarantines the legislative norms in Madhya Pradesh.

The first one has no cure so far,  and the other one is a man-made disease that goes on and   which survives on lies and deceit.

A day might come when man may discover the vaccine for COVID-19 but political dystopia is such a contemptuous virus that, it has now become immortal almost.

Corona is being fought by the countries hard and God wish the virus, that so far wallows in obliviousness, should finish sooner or later and see the people together again.

When someone gets affected by the virus, besides the prevention, he or she requires isolation but the viruses born of political churlishness deserve isolation forever. But, that is unlikely.

And these people in politics are so deeply intertwined with the society that, isolation is an unthinkable recourse that people may chose. Nothing can stop it, neither hand-wash, not sanitisers nor distancing!

It was for all to see that when the entire globe is seized with the calamitous Corona scare, politicians were busy in resorts politics, ferrying MLAs from MP to either Bengaluru or to Haryana for a kind of quarantining and become ready for the ‘tamasas’(drama) on the floors of an august house.

It would have been prudent for the Speaker of MP Assembly to make the announcement over adjournment before to avoid a splurge of some lakhs of rupees on a day’s session incommensurate to an avoidable orchestration of the obvious.
