PRIDE OR SHAME
Even as the nation is feeling outraged over unprovoked shelling at civilian population alongside International Border in the Jammu region, Mufti Mohammed Sayeed has urged the political leadership of India and Pakistan to show greater magnanimity and replace the hawkish rhetoric with talk of friendship and peace. Refusing to believe Pakistan as aggressor, he advises them against resorting to the blame-game or sounding jingoistic.
Is it a matter of pride or shame for the former Union Home Minister to bring the largest democracy of the world and the rogue nation in its neighbourhood on the same pedestal and term Indian leadership hawkish because they are acting against the aggressor?
