The way of weasel - I


So the variables are resolved

X = Terrorism
Y = Making Pakistan see the reason
Y' = Banning Blogspot.

Doesn't it give everyone warm feeling to know that our government is so concerned to save Indians from pajama wearing bloggers.
Ofcourse there is no security threat when Prakash Karat hobnobs with Maoists, Mulayam Singh Yadav openly panders to likes of SIMI or when Foreign policy is communalised.

Frankly speaking when Gaurav Sabnis wrote about it, I couldn't believe it. Turns out that that idiocy is bureaucracy is unbounded.

PS. While I am not able to open blogspot blogs, I am able to open dashboard, so I am not sure.
