In a clever garb

Sir, - The Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) is a clever garb of the pernicious TADA. Before introducing such a bill let there be a national debate as it is bound to be misused by the party in power. Why not deal with the sympathisers of the LTTE who wield considerable political clout at the Centre and States along with strong arm tactics against the SIMI. Also, the VHP and the Bajrang Dal must be banned if we are to save the nation.
