DemocrAcy in indiA is not brittle

Sir, With reference to Pankaj Vohra’s

(2 December), the author has rightly pointed out that prompted by supporters of the ruling party, several TV channels tried to decode Imran’s praise for Sidhu as a conspiracy by Pakistan to dislodge Narendra Modi as Prime Minister. Nothing is more outlandish given that democracy in India is not brittle and Modi is the PM because he enjoys both the backing of Indian Parliament and the people. Imran’s intentions of pushing the peace agenda appears, on face value, to be genuine, but till attacks by Pakistani trained terrorists continue on Indian territory, no forward movement will take place.
