Does anyone not fid it strage to have a chief guest at our secular "republic" (meaning sovreinity of the ppl) day, who is 1) a King 2) A religious tyrant 3) A dictator 4) A funder of a terrorist state (Pakistan) ( not in that order). We understand the need for Oil and hence the need to kiss the butt of this tyrant, but to have him deface on our day of sovreignity is unacceptable.
