There is no need to accept anything less than Full consensus and monitoring by Parliament on this issue -niceties be damned. Since when did national interest take a back seat to an individual's foolish self-pride? If Manmohan Singh has to eat his words, so be it. Same goes for POTA (or a modified version of it if UPA has concerns) by the way. What further catastrophy are UPA and all those morose State Governments like AP, UP, Karnataka, West Bengal etc. waiting for, to correct the legal framework to deal with Terrorists? Where is the legal action behind the beating of the chest on Independence Day? The UPA has been consistenly acting like the proverbial "playing the fiddle while India Burns".. don't they have a sense of governance? Does Dr. Singh really think that the nation does not see him to be the paper tiger he is, with no bite and no follow up on his own words?
