The Other Voice

“Secularism is one of the great successes of the Republic. It is a crucial element of social peace and national cohesion. We cannot let it weaken.” – French President Jacques Chirac on the French government’s move to ban the hijab in France.
“The Prime Minister of the country (Pakistan) has all the information that has been furnished by us. More than what we have given to them following Kasab’s interrogation in court, now there is more information after Headley and Rane were arrested. I believe Americans shared that information with Pakistan. Given that information, how can the PM of Pakistan say that he can’t do anything or won’t do anything.” – Union Home Minister P Chidambaram on Pakistan Prime Minister Yousuf Raza Gilani’s comment that his country could not guarantee against another 26/11 attack on India.
