congress and bjp are both responsible for the mess we see ourselves in. one if totally for the minority, at the cost of loss of face for the people they support! and the other goes hammer and tongs after them, at the cost of punishing the hardliners from the majority community.

The decision of police officer for not disclosing the details of investigation of the e-mails threat to the IT companys will be welcomed by every one.They need not tell the details of the security measures they are carrying out for the IT buildings.The safety measures shall be in such a way that if at all any attacks come, that should be 100%foiled and fugitives should be eliminated without any loss to our forces.We are hopeful that the culprits who sent the e-mail threat are chased and caught and we the public want this threat to be viewed seriously.
