Terrorism leads nowhere

Sir, - I watched with horror and disgust the latest act of terrorism perpetrated by the Jaish-e-Mohammad in Srinagar on October 1. It brought back the spectre of September 11 to my mind. This act has exposed once again the hypocrisy of Pakistan which agrees to fight against the Taliban - the monster it created - as part of the U.S.-led coalition, and at the same time, sponsors terrorist attacks.

The Indian Muslims cannot remain spectators of the spiralling violence in Kashmir. It is time they told their brothers and sisters in Kashmir that terrorism in the name of Islam will not get them anywhere.
