[Reader-list] Arundhati Roy 'uncomfortable' to condemn violence!

[A.K. Malik]

Dear Mr Kaul,
               In the TV visuals the embarrassment was writ large on the faces of the sympatizers. May be once taken sides, they seem to be scared to go against the Maoists.Such people need more condemnation than the ordinary mortals.
Regards,

(A.K.MALIK)
