Double standards

Sir, — In Andhra Pradesh, the People's War Group has been merrily going about its destruction spree. But how many human rights activists have protested this wanton destruction and killing of innocent civilians? The same activists lose no time in rushing to the Press with declarations of protest against some alleged or imaginary ``assault'' on human rights by a government agency. Why this double standard?
