Editorial viewpoints

• No surprise if patriots contemplate how many of such candidates would fight from the Indian side vs. the enemy. What if they join enemies in rioting after their retirement ?
• In 1948, when Pakistan attacked Kashmir, Muslim soldiers of King Hari Singh joined the Pakistan forces.
