The politician's double standards
by balaji on Jul 13, 2006 10:41 PM

This is a beautifully written piece. But also look at what the Govt. is doing. The PM says that nobody can make India kneel & these are the same politicians who repealed POTA saying that the Act was inhuman. POTA was a deterrent- albeit a mild one- to terrorists. But now that it has gone, there is no Act that can apply to terrorists. The IPC does not have enough teeth to discourage terrorists & those arrested will walk out on Bail in a couple of weeks. What we need is some legislation that grants special powers to the State to deal with special cases such as Terrorists. Only then the PM's message would carry some conviction with the Indian people.
