Letters to THE EDITOR: Prayers answered

Prayers answered

So, at last, RAGA’s prayer for foreign intervention in the nation’s internal affairs has been answered, and Raga must be elated, along with his pals, when by this time the USA, Germany, and Canada are responding to Raga’s prayer by expressing concern about India’s laxity in upholding democracy and law and order. While doing so, both Raga and his mother must have forgotten about his grandmother’s respect for democracy when she declared an emergency in 1975.

Regarding law and order USA and Canada must have forgotten that open shootings in public places have almost become a routine affair. Gun culture is their culture. It is seen that countries like the USA and Canada of late are poking their noses into others affairs when their own houses are not in order. It is a pity that only Mani Shankar Iyer’s prayers to Pakistan to dislodge Modi have not been answered so far.
