1. Shri. Dilip Dhakane-Patil, Shri Shivapratishthan Hindustan : If Chinese dragon is to be defeated without waging war, use of indigenous products awakening patriotism amongst people and cornering China’s economy in a fix would be an effective measure !
2. Prof. Satish Bagul : Attack on Amarnath pilgrims is an attack on identity of Hindus from all over the country. The Union Government should, as part of protecting self-respect of Indians, immediately expose the political forces nurturing terrorism and take stringent action against them.
