Opinion Changing tune

Changing tune
Apropos Netaji by your side (IE,May 24),political parties enter or leave alliances depending on how it serves their interests. Stability and credibility are secondary to them. The new bonhomie between Mulayam Singh Yadav and Congress leaders,evident at UPA 2s third anniversary bash,lays bare the political opportunism that drives both parties,who were tearing into each other only a short while ago. It is unlikely that the change of heart was brought about by national interests.

Bad copy
THE article Copyright madness (IE,May 22) highlights the confusion around film piracy. At a time when new movies are shown on television weeks after their release,the Madras High Courts order,aimed to protect the film 3,seems rather ill-advised.

No roadmap
APROPOS Two more years? (IE,May 23),UPA 2 is spinning out of control. It may break down completely before it finishes its second term unless the Congress charts out a roadmap for the future. So far,UPA 2 has escaped relatively unscathed because its main opposition,the NDA,is also a divided house. There is an urgent need for UPA 2 to reinvent itself for the 2014 elections.

Same old story
WE should thank our MPs for drawing our attention by kicking up a fuss over the NCERT cartoon to the slow pace of Constitution-making in our country,in the early years of Independence. Not much seems to have changed since then. The government still functions at snails pace. In 1951,retrospective amendments were made to the Constitution. The tradition has been kept alive with the retrospective amendments to the tax laws.

Anger management
MAMATA BANERJEES behaviour during a TV session was not becoming of a chief minister (Cartoon row: Mamata loses cool,storms out of live TV session,IE,May 19). The students were entitled to seek clarifications on critical issues,especially the safety of women in the wake of the Park Street rape. They were also right to raise questions on the persecution of a Jadavpur University academic over a cartoon.

THE SGPCs decision to allow a memorial to Operation Bluestar is not in the interests of the Sikh community (Work begins for the Bluestar Memorial for Sikh martyrs,IE,May 21). The Akali governments loud silence on the issue is evidence of its tacit approval of this project.
