Editorial Perspectives

• This incident reveals how deeply Punjab has been infiltrated by Khalistani terrorism. It is certain that if Khalistani terrorism is not eradicated now, it will become a bigger headache for India in the future.

• When there is ample evidence of Pakistan’s involvement in anti-national activities in India, what more is the Government waiting for to take decisive action ?
