This guy is the shrewdest politician. Blame Kandahar on Vajpayee, Tibet on Nehru, something else on Sonia. Fact is even with correspondence with Britishers China had never accepted Tibet as independent country and called McMohan line as "unilateral". There are numerous proofs of that. But rather than fall in that debate what did he do as India's home minister when Parliament was attacked? Parked the army in Rajasthan costing the nation crores. He would have had a right to say something if he had attacked Pakistan. Mrs. Gandhi would have surely done so. What did he do when Kandahar happened? His memory of events was even contrary to his prime minister. And for someone who told a judicial commission that he did not remember what happened in Ayodhya on 6th Dec it is quite remarkable that he remembers the smallest of details of where he can blaame others. Atleast noone in Nehru Gandhi family praised Jinnah. He will be first Indian PM hopeful to have done so. It is not for nothing that RSS chief said once Indira was best PM and that too on prime time TV

abe o, in mrs gandhi's times, pakiland was not nuclear. but in advani's time, it was. we cannot just be stupid enough to attack a nuclear state.
parking the army in RJ costing crores to the nation? Well, do you realise that RJ probably has the largest border with pakiland and that being desert, is difficult to patrol and that is where paki jihadis were most likely to come from.
what would you have done on kandahar? it is a two sided coin. if the passengers were killed, a section would have opposed it. now, when passengers are saved, another section is opposing it.
He did not praise jinnah. all he said was that jinnah was secular and that is the truth. in fact, if you think jinnah was not secular, calling him secular cannot be construed as praise then. Think about it.

That is the point. China has not accepted the McMohan line. They should be nuked like Hiroshima if they not respect the McMohan line or any other international community laws. They are acting as superpower in the region. See what they have done in Tibet, Nepal, Arunachal, ...... If no action is taken and China is not nipped in the bud, the entire world will have to pay the price. We can not afford a world war with a lot of nuclear bombs. Its better to nuke China now rather than wait for the war and then nuke them
