Re: [HumJanenge] Write up on Maoist abduction of the Collector, Malakangiri, Orissa

I would tend to go with Pradip's view  - that by caving in to Maoists demand, the Orissa ovt and Central Govt have shown that they are weak, spineless and no better than the spineless Govt of V.P.Singh which caved in to release terrorists in Rubina Sayyed's case (her father was then Union Home Minister) who went on to kill Rupen Katiyar at Kandahar hijack.

There is always a backlash - invariably affecting innocent citizens . and it is high time that India has a public posture of "no negotiations, 10 for 1 policy" like the Russians and Israelis do.

To illustrate Govts dual standards, what is MHA doing to release those poor Indian navvies held by Somali pirates ?
