Naxalites-Maoists Show Their Strength, Government Its Weakness
Amba Charan Vashishth
A great joke is narrated in Punjab which applies appropriately to the present UPA government led by Dr. Manmohan Singh and inspired by Congress supremo Mrs. Sonia Gandhi. A strong man gave a forceful slap on the face of a weak person. The latter got infuriated. "Don't slap me again", he retorted, "Otherwise I'll strike back with greater force".
