Hindu : 11 Apr - Editorial : Descent that never ends

Article is a portray on things will never get settled if one chooses the path of violence. Best explained are the chain of events happening in west Bengal after the death of the student Leader Sudip Gupta in Police Custody. The two rival parties, Trinamol Congress, the ruling government and CPI the opposition are now head on with violent responses after his death was showcased as government's intentional plot to suppress the protests. The public attack of deputy chief minister in Delhi was evident that CPI had responded in a violent fashion and the author believes that such violent measures will only cause more pain to the common man and should be brought to halt either by the government or by the sheer understanding of the opposition party that this is not the way to show our anger.

Authors put in the logic that the only reason why one should bend towards violence is only if its a matter of survival or self defense but definitely not to protest the anger of injustice. Author points out that ground situation might tempt the protesters to choose a violent path but one should not take that path when its not he last option. They can still protest by taking all measures to bring the majority to lose confidence with the present government both at public level as well as in their assembly. It would only be a matter of time that issues like this can be resolved through democracy instead of playing the blame game of who resided to violence first. Author ends with a hope that Ms.Benerjee's hatred by the public should be used as a gamble by the opposition to resolve such grave issue through non-violence before the people of west bengal fall prey to violence acts from both ends.
