The Opposition has a point, too, when it demands that the government explain the theft of offerings at the Ram temple in Ayodhya. On its part, the Opposition must realise that it has primarily been sent to Parliament for carrying out the all-important business of lawmaking and parliamentary oversight. It needs to ensure that Parliament functions because the people have entrusted them with that task. It must offer a workable solution to the Opposition which should accept it and go back to the House. Parliament must be allowed to function, issues must be debated and laws must be discussed.
