Protecting VIPs

Sir, — As rightly said by Anjali Mody in her article `Protecting the leaders ... from the people?'(Insight, Feb. 16), common people are put to a lot of inconvenience under the pretext of providing security cover to "the rulers" and "our national leaders". Only these political bosses are responsible for nurturing caste, religious and linguistic extremism, causing an eternal climate of unrest. It is a paradox that they themselves need to be insulated from the very heat of the `national bonfire' they have lit and are further fuelling.

It is time some norms are devised to simplify the security system.

Ganapathy Sundara Raman B,

Tiruchi, T.N.
