India
shocked, sad, worried and watchful New Delhi, March 30
The terrorist attack on the
police training centre at Manavan near Lahore, which is just
12km from the Wagah border, has India deeply worried even as it
closely monitors the worsening security situation in Pakistan.
Foreign secretary Shiv Shankar Menon, however, ruled out the
resumption of the composite dialogue process with Pakistan until
the neighbouring country dismantled the terrorist infrastructure
and punished those behind the Mumbai attacks.

Punjab
loses a statesman Manpreet Singh Badal
In the death of Captain Kanwaljit Singh, Punjab has lost a statesman,
the Shiromani Akali Dal (SAD) has lost a visionary, and I have lost a
guide. I remember the day when I was contesting elections for the first
time. At Gidderbaha, during that fateful election, the counting for the
byelection results was on. After the fifth round of the counting, I was
trailing behind the Congress candidate. Capt Kanwaljit Singh came out of
the booth with tears in his eyes. The tears did not seem to stop and I
rushed forward to meet him.
