This is regarding Orissa's recent minority mangle.
Dear PM Sir,
Who held your hands to stop what happened and is happening in Orissa after
the slaying of the
Swami?
This question, in no way, questions my appreciation and esteem for you. I
know you are a good man, strong where it counts. But a little too soft?? in
matters dealing with rascals like Advani and Modi perhaps??

Dr Manmohan Singh is dignified, gentle and courteous at all times. However
there are occasions when pushed to the wall by unreasonable people, he can
give back hard and mighty. This is the stuff our PM is made of.
Here are some quotes of Dr Manmohan Singh:
"Advani likes to call me a weak prime minister. I cannot help pointing out
that when held to the fire during the Kandahar hijacking, the BJP's *Iron
Man melted*."
"I will certainly not say things in Pakistan that *offend every Indian and
then abandon my stand* when it becomes politically inconvenient in my
party."
"The BJP has not allowed Parliament to function... and now Advani wants to
debate with me. *I don't want to give him the privilege* that he is an
alternative prime minister."
"Mr Advani has the unique ability to combine *strength in speech with
weakness in action*."
"I am not a sloganeer. I will readily concede that my opponents make more
rousing speeches. But unlike the NDA's prime ministerial candidate *I will
not be found weeping in a corner* while hoodlums tear down a centuries-old
mosque. Nor will I be found *wringing my hands in frustration while one of
my chief ministers condones a pogrom targeted at minorities.*"
