Opinion: Let's Disagree

In the early stages of any period of change, there will some tension between individuals and political parties, especially when that change comes after years of oppression and the deprivation of human rights. Every political party thinks it is correct and the others are wrong, but this is dangerous. What we need are disagreements and democratic dialogues through which we can build our political and social associations. It is really great to hear that one party says another has a right to speak his opinion; it is the principle of democracy. It is good if we disagree on the ways to build our country, and ultimately agree to build it all together. We have to work as one group, despite our disagreements, to draw smiles across the children’s mouths and to keep our elder generations living in peace and tranquillity. Disagreement is the right way for a healthy and democratic country to exist. So, let us disagree.
