You know that politics is a game of negotiation, alignment and realignment. There is bound to be conflict, misunderstanding, fights and crisis. But the bottom line is the resolution of the conflict. It is not strange to experience all these in any political party, but every reasonable party should from time to time set up a machinery to reconcile aggrieved members back to the party.
