Shoot on sight anti-nationals

29.07.02 I think India is restraining herself vis-à-vis Pakistan because of America’s pleading: Give time and opportunity for Mushraff to deliver. However, that chap is not going to deliver - he will have his own agenda. Maybe I am being simplistic, but why can’t India simply have a policy of shooting on sight anti-India nationals? Maybe there is a genuine fear that in this guise innocents might be killed. Moreover, any leader ought to know that real victory is the winning over of hearts. It must be noted however that if India is going to be victorious, we can’t have anyone and everyone strut about as if they are the arbitrators of India’s destiny. The arbitrators of India’s destiny ought only to be those who love Mother India and are determined to live for Mother India.
