IT has become a tradition to criticise politicians and disgracing and humiliating them with the most inappropriate, unethical and abusive labels. Every individual is free to express his views, but why don`t they criticise those who had been equally sharing the throne with politicians? Why don`t they fulminate against those who abrogated the constitution and torn the country asunder? Without diagnosing disease how could one be cured? For those who shrug and believe it was only the past that should be buried now, Eugene O`Neill writes: `Past is present, isn`t it? It`s future too`.
Past will continue to haunt the present until and unless policymakers choose the road that has not been taken before and overhaul old and outdated policies.
