With 90% of the parents having given their preference for English as the medium of primary education, the BBSM should have gracefully accepted the verdict. The Government has adopted the most democratic and just approach on the MoI issue, that of taking the opinion of the parents. If anyone is aggrieved by the decision of the government, the democratic approach would be to approach the courts which some have done. Now it is for the court to decide if there is any legal standing for such objections. The cranky mergerists need to learn to accept the verdict of the people and stop throwing tantrums to acheive their obsolete and unjust demands. The problem is that the leaders themselves have not practiced what they preach to others. In doing so, they have lost their moral ground to speak about preserving culture and identity. By beating their empty drums, are they not sounding more like the Bekhar andi Broxtt Soitanacho Manch?
