[Reader-list] The Naxalites overreached

[A.K. Malik]

Durani Ji,
            I think what these people need to understand that sometimes one has to get the problematic leg amputed so that rest of the body system remains or else you lose the entire body.If the law of the land is not honoured, one can justify all the crimes-rapes,murders, burning of houses so on ans so forth because you can justify.Why limit brotherhood to your own country.Don't kill the terorrists,those crossing borders, fighting for ulterior motives etc to maintain brotherhood.What a fancy idea.
And then Modi is always available there to justify anything later on. 
REGARDS,

(A.K.MALIK)
