The other Anchors on other channels are less confrontational, but there are
the same problems more or less!The Congress and BJP cannot resist taking

Parliament where the Speaker cannot shout down or discipline the
members!Lung power wins the arguments inside and violence
outside!Intelligent debates require intelligent and tolerant people?
