Editorial Perspectives

• In what way it will help to detain two minor Pakistani criminals in juvenile observation centre ? Will they not influence and incite the other minor inmates against India ?
• How can a minor criminal have a pistol ? Will it be wrong for a sensitive patriot to feel that it is a case of treachery by someone from the security system and should it not be investigated and the guilty be hanged ?
