ANALYSING the recently-held general elections in India, our parliamentarians must learn from the opposition leader in India. Undoubtedly, Rahul Gandhi, the Congress leader, deserves acclaim for being a parliamentarian who kept the national interest above all personal propensities and proclivities. However, our own parliamentarians failed to find common ground, which in itself was an insult to national pride and sovereignty. Our parliamentarians should take a cue from Rahul Gandhi, who has assured everyone that his party would prioritise matters of public interest in parliament.
