Government to Investigate Mustard Oil Poisoning

The Prime Minister, Mr.Bhudev commented on the recent deaths of those affected by the mustard oil poisoning. He said, "My Office has just been alerted to the poisoning of mustard oil. I pray that this isn't intentional but I will do everything in my power to bring the persons or persons responsible to justice. My offices along with other ministries are undertaking operations to start investigating the poisonings."

He went on to say, "If any citizen has information on this I ask them to talk to the Police Service. As my office gets more information we'll release more information. Rest assured my fellow citizens we are doing everything in our power."

However, there was no word on any possibility of government compensation either from the central government or from the Delhi government.

Send in the Army

33 people were killed in Kashmir in a single terrorist attack last month. Thousands of people have been killed and hundreds of thousands are displaced. Yet, so far we have seen no action from the government. The policy of 'wait and watch' has failed, we hope the BJP will pursue a more assertive strategy than the failed Congress and United Front governments.

The government should get tough on the terrorists. We need an anti-terrorism law so that our security forces can lock them up or even get rid of them. The government should send more troops to Kashmir and deliver a stern warning to Pakistan by putting our military forces on alert. Like the USA does every so often, we must attack terrorist camps in Pakistan Occupied Kashmir with airstrikes and misslie strikes.

At election time, the BJP promised an aid package for displaced Kashmiri Pandits. There is no sign of that yet. Instead, the sum of 3 billion rupees is being wasted each year to subsidise Muslims to go to the Haj.
