Looking for a Scapegoat is not Real Forward Thinking.

Looking for a scapegoat is not real forward-thinking.

At a time when the rest of the World is looking for answers to deal with the Corona epidemic, looking for a scapegoat is not going to solve the issue.

If the person who has returned to the country from Italy a few weeks ago and sought treatments for some other ailment from a government-run medical facility but alleged to have failed to divulge full details is found, he will be lynched by many.

Even the authorities are on the same page with those who are calling for his blood but they have gone a step further by suggesting all his immovable properties to be confiscated even.

Is this the way forward?

I do not think so.

If the failures are to be counted, then the number one citizen of the country should be on the top of the list for failing to close all borders immediately when the experienced professionals were asking him to do so but waited for all his family & friends' kith and kin to return from aboard to go ahead.

So is that member of the parliament and well-known drug dealer for instigating and stopping the efforts to turn one of the government-run hospital facility to a quarantine facility to deal with suspected corona infected cases.

Despite the curfew and ban of people gathering in numbers, many politicians have organized their political rallies.

Some have even conducted Bodhi Puja, some went on dispensing Holy Water and some others distributing face masks and finally given the one he had been wearing all day to another person.

The way forward is to admit failures and to address them in such a way not to repeat them again in future.

Do not just look for a lower place to let the water flow.
