Abdul Kalam is trying to hide behind the apron strings of the Home Ministry when he had the power to take an independent decision in the matter of Afzal Guru's clemency petition. He had proven himself to be communal and unfit for a second term as President.
The Home Ministry proved itself no better by putting the clemency petition in cold freeze, no doubt, keeping in mind the Muslim vote bank.
With such kind of elements running this country how can one hope to curb terrorism?
The jawans who died defending the Parliament had proven to be more patriotic than either Abdul Kalam or the Home Ministry. May God bless the souls of those jawans.
