The discussion focused on how some of our politicians, just for their personal advantage, make use of issues which cause communal disturbances. The participants of this talk show strongly felt that Indian masses should learn to ignore those politicians’ remarks which can spark off communal disturbances. All the participants felt relieved about one fact which was relating to communal situation in Navi Mumbai. They were happy about the fact that there was never any case of communal disharmony in Navi Mumbai anytime in the past and this type of normal situation, they felt, should be maintained even in the future.
