Sir — This refers to the news report, “Kasab II misled by hostages” (August 6). Terrorism is a major problem today not only in India, but across the world. The roots of terrorism is so vast and is growing day-by-day and thus we cannot eliminate it completely but we can restrict it to some extent. Terrorists have no religion nor do they have a soft heart. Even children and infants are not spared. They just want to sow seeds of fear and terror in every human mind.
Pakistan, since its birth, has been a main source of terrorism. Pakistan sends its terrorists to India to cause heavy destruction to life and property from time-to-time. It has used the poor youth of Kashmir and also Afghanistan, in the name of brotherhood and jihad, to help them in their activities.
They kill people for no reason. In order to stop these terrorist activities, we must live in harmony and be friendly with our neighbouring countries, especially Pakistan and not fight in the name of religion. Only then we will be able to rid our nation of terrorism and all such corrupt activities.
