A model leader

Sir, - Your Editorial on Madhavrao Scindia (Oct. 2) is a tribute to a present day model leader. He enjoyed a royal status among the people though he belonged to a particular political party. Crossing party lines everybody respected him as a new generation leader.

Unfortunately, India could not utilise his capabilities fully. It is because, as you rightly observed, he lacked the political cunning and the street-smart guile. He even deserved to be the leader of his party. His demise is not only a loss to his party but to the nation also.

Sir, - In the death of Madhavrao Scindia, we have lost a dynamic and promising leader. And alongwith him some talented newspersons.

Whatever be the findings of the inquiry that has been ordered into the accident, the Government should bring a Civil Aviation Security Act and take steps for stricter security measures for all aircrafts, including those owned privately.
