Rein them in

The article "Keep the peace process on track" (Feb. 20) rightly points out that terrorism is sustained on Pakistani soil. Pervez Musharraf seems to be a puppet in the hands of the terrorists. The alibi that the terrorist organisations do not operate under Islamabad's shadow must be rejected outright. These organisations breed in Pakistan. If Gen. Musharraf is serious about normalising ties with India, he must rein them in. How much longer can we stand with open arms only to be stabbed in the back?

Terrorism is a double-edged weapon. Unless Pakistan closes down the terrorist training camps on its soil and cooperates with India in combating terrorism, the killing of innocent civilians cannot be stopped.

R.S. Shanmuganathan,

As long as our judicial system is slow, such attacks will continue to take place. We sit on mercy petitions, and we talk of moon and space when our fellow citizens are butchered in our own backyard.

Suresh Shanmukam,
Thiruvalla
