Our memory is too short to reward those who gave sufferings / hardships, siphoned the funds but punished those who came to rescue and alleviate the situation. We are most ungrateful and do not deserve decent treatment as we still have not come out of the colonial mindset. It is just pointless to debate on Emergency as it is just another item in history books along with that of our invaders. It is hoped time is not wasted in discussions or any form of protests but put to productive use.
