Double standards

Sir,- I am shocked by the double standards of the Government when it comes to speaking out against terrorism, having seen the October 1984 massacre of Sikhs in Delhi when the State police acted at the bidding of higher-ups. The politicians in power sided with mobs who hounded out innocent Sikh victims, burning them alive, destroying their properties and perpetrating worst crimes on their women. But justice still eludes the victims while the guilty continue to enjoy power, perks and prestige. Tainted police officials got promotions.

Is denying justice on such an immense scale really not terrorism wreaked by the state on its innocent citizens?

Kanwaljit,
