Heroics sans action

Sir,- The killing of innocent people at Doda and at the Jammu railway station is tragic. The Home Minister has come up with an action plan. Though one tends to feel that terrorism will be put to an end when a plan is proposed, every time the story is otherwise.

This only shows that there is possibly a lack of commitment on the Home Ministry's part to pursue the plan devotedly and there is lack of interest on the part of the Jammu and Kashmir Government to stop the killings.

The Kashmir problem persists due to continued indecisiveness and lack of courage on the part of Governments at the Centre. When it comes to dealing with the Kashmir terrorists, our leaders always develop cold feet. They talk heroically but their action does not reflect their words.
