Letter Published in Bangalore Mirror Bangalore India on 31 Oct 13  Modi deserves respect The report, Modi rap from PM, Nitish (BM, Oct 30), was a good read. The recent comments by Congress leaders on Sardar Patel and Modi are sad. Congress branded Modi as anon-secular man. Whatever be the reason, Modi should be respected. The comments from Nitish Kumar were also unwarranted.

Letter Published in The National Uae on 31 Oct 13India’s consumers see red over onion prices (October 30) was an interesting article.

The fact that onion prices seem to increase every day in India is unjustifiable. Whatever reason the government gives for these rises, it is simply not acceptable.

The Indian government promised before the last election that it would take care of food-price inflation, but it has failed miserably.

Onion prices really are bringing tears to the eyes of the common man.

Letter Published in The National Uae on 29 Oct 13 Blasts underscore Bihar’s failure

The bomb blasts that killed five people at a political rally in the northern Indian state of Bihar marks a dramatic development in Indian politics ahead of next year’s election (Bombings kill five at Indian opposition rally, October 27).

It’s sad that the Bihar government could not provide adequate safety and security for the people, even though it’s the duty of a state to ensure safety of the public during any political rally.
