Dialogue is better than acrimony

Looking at the present situation in the country, I remember a quote that negotiation is always better than arguments. I find it absolutely right because tendency behind argument is to find who is right and the idea of discussion is to find what is right. The ruling party is not ready to talk to the opposition as they are trying to cling to power through any means. The greed for power is making our politics uncertain and turbulent. The opposition should conduct their political programmes peacefully as the politics of violence will only isolate them from the common people. I hope the opposition will immediately call off their blockade and hartal and give one more chance to the ruling party to sit for a  dialogue. The ruling party should immediately stop extra-judicial killings and oppression of their opposition so that an atmosphere of peace and tranquility prevails to facilitate dialogue. Both parties should remember that they are not going to rule forever and therefore they should encourage constructive politics. I hope good sense will prevail on both the ruling party and the opposition and a congenial atmosphere for negotiation will be created for the ultimate benefit of the country and its people.
