MUMBAI, August 30: Film thespian Dilip Kumar lamented that parochial forces had torn apart the basic fibre of the country leading to erosion of precious values such as humanity and nationalism. He was addressing a gathering at a function organised by Sahyog Foundation on Saturday to felicitate Sunil Dutt, social activist, for his contribution to national integration. Kumar said he regretted that those responsible for the mess were sitting on a pedestal as architects of the nation.
