Editorial: India Submissive; Pakistan Aggressive
The Editorial Team
As the Congress-led UPA was overflowing with overconfidence and credit that after 26/11 it has frustrated all attempts by terrorist groups to strike in India, the February 13 evening Pune strike has hit the government hard to realize that everything is not fine with it. It has only sent out the message that the security agencies have to be on high alert all the time, 24 hours of the day 365 days the year.
