The nation is in safe hands
by H.K. Dua
Despite
all its shortcomings, the nation has the wisdom and resilience to throw up a Prime Minister who can be trusted to provide the kind of leadership it needs at this time.
And as such, the ascendancy of Dr Manmohan Singh to the august office is an event of tremendous significance.
