Can the National Capital Ever Be At PEACE?

Spare the national capital from protests

Can the National Capital ever come to terms with a bonhomie where protests/agitations are next to nil and this form of transgression like hulla bol are confined to the outskirts. The National Capital is boiling and yet the groups don't care to give it a semblance of order. These protests like hulla bol are sheer wastage of time and resources and only gives lumpen elements to vent their frustration which they are unable to do so at their homes or in places where they ever worked.
Who are the political activists who form the long chain of agitators and what they intend to do by reneging on their promise to remain peaceful and sober? If ever any group has to agitate, the best course is to take out a rally from the outskirts to the heart of the city and then disperse soon after reading their range of demands and handing over the memorandum. These pitched battles being fought and the so-called political activists throwing caution to the wind is going to evaporate the level of support from even those who intend to support you. Bringing down the barricades and agitation turning violent also gives room to the authorities to go brutal. The best course is to take out a peaceful rally from the outskirts to one nodal point of the National Capital and disperse soon after.
The National Capital has already sewn up in a series of dislocation/discomfort. The muggy weather followed by 40 per cent deficit in rainfall this monsoon and the untamed movement of personal transport shows the repair the city needs. The National Capital is boiling and by letting the activists go untamed, they would follow this act of ruthlessness even at their homes. The political class may have an agenda on hand but this is no way to go about things. Why not let these political activists channel their thoughts and energy to something constructive; never mind if credit does not come to you but you know that something cheerful has flowed from your stable and this would stand you in good stead in future. One political group need not wait for the other to show compassion; the one good move with no expectations on returns would be a bounty harvest.

The people are on a short fuse; the dividends they look forward to is unimaginable; the smiles are scanty and the abuse in plenty. The liberalised set-up wasn't meant to see dissensions of this nature and by shifting the heat from the National Capital the world won't come crashing down. Let the National Capital get its share of sobriety it deserves. As for the other class, by sheer logic of money power some want to spearhead their fiefdom. The National Capital has lost its innocence. Those residing in empires of distress, from where they chalk out their strategy to create mayhem are the most despicable lot.
For once, let the National Capital be at peace; let it breathe the air of accommodation and let it bring convergence of views that are sober and simple. Let the radiance of wealth be checked. This National Capital is a place of distasteful contrast. If during the day the agitation involving thousands hit the streets, the nights to be followed by early morning tide sees a voluminous block splurge on food and association that would be brutal and criminal. This National Capital has a double face with a double agenda. Let sobriety return; let passion run low and if ever one wants to agitate do it peacefully and don't try to disrupt those who are out to lead a peaceful life.
Can the National Capital try to learn from other centres of sobriety in the country? The greed spawned the thrust of dislocation; and the stimulus package from the political groups to their activists only dislocates the attempt to think right.
