Both P. Chidambaram and Tavleen Singh devoted their columns Sunday Express, December 29th to Prime Minister A.B. Vajpayee 8212; his new year agenda and his birthday gifts to the nation. People had great expectations from him for a corruption-free government. While he may have fulfilled his other agenda, he is yet to see to this one.

I share P. Chidambaram8217;s concern over the state of drift in resolving the Indo-Pak conflict over Kashmir, tackling economic issues and handling the Sangh Parivar. The time has come for our PM to assert himself. In J 038; K, the healing process has started but dialogue with Islamabad has to begin. Also, our economy needs to be put back on track. Those PSUs which are a liability must be disinvested at once. The PM must act as the leader of the whole nation, not just the NDA.

How can P. Chidambaram say that an obvious solution to the Indo-Pak problem is to convert the Line of Control into an International Border? Indo-Pak relations have been intermittently on the boil, terrorism replacing open conflict. The hope of peace returning with an International Border is wishful thinking. Vajpayee and Advani are right in refusing to talk with Pakistan until the General calls off cross-border terrorism.

Your wishes, Mr Chidambaram, are not our wishes. Please spell out what is mischievous about the doctrine of Hindu Rashtra. What is pernicious about 8216;8216;cultural nationalism8217;8217;. The very word nationalism is anathema to Congress culture. Nehru defined India 8216;8216;as a bundle of diversities held together by an invisible thread8217;8217; but never had the courage to discover that invisible thread. Do you believe that different communities can be integrated without at least a common civil code?
