Opinion - Letters to the Editor

Right note

Sir, — This refers to the editorial, `The right note' (Sept.25). The Prime Minister, Manmohan Singh's address to the United Nations General Assembly was a grand performance. However, the lack of any reference to the festering Palestinian problem in it was unfortunate. This is a problem that provides the political underpinning for much of international terrorism, and, therefore, deserves the urgent attention of those fighting the menace.

K. Vijayakumar,
Bangalore

Sir, — Dr. Singh has not said or done anything noteworthy to go gaga over his U.N. speech. History will be the right judge of his leadership and vision as far as governing 1.2 billion people is concerned.

Srinivas Rajan,
Ahmedabad

Sir, — You have said that the National Democratic Alliance Government's "pro-Washington tilt" was damaging. Actually, the NDA's was a damage-controlling tilt. Most of independent India's ills were because of our vacillating and ambiguous international policy under the name of Non-alignment.

K.S. Ramakrishnan,
Chennai
