Sir — This refers to Union Minister Venkaiah Naidu’s statement that the Government was willing to discuss contentious issues with the Opposition if the latter only demonstrated some tolerance. Mr Naidu is appealing to the wrong persons to not “hurt the interests of the country”. If the Congress was concerned about the interests of the country, would it have allowed the loot of resources, like in the 2G Spectrum case and the coal block allocation issueIJ Would it have joined hands with a party noted for providing jungle raj in BiharIJ
