Hard choice
The treatment that PDP MLA's got during their visit to the house of the custodial death victim in Sopore should be an eye opener for the party and its leadership. People cannot be deceived anymore and all politicians belonging to any side must realize that people understand everything. Gone are the days when politicians considered people as a flock of sheep that could be dragged in any direction. No political party can ride on two ideologies and no party can either be pro-Indian or at the same time sympathize with those who are otherwise. It is time for the PDP to make a hard choice and shun the dubious politics and join the people if they really want to represent them.
