I wonder whether thee is any mistake " FRIDAY " instead of " SATURDAY " Today 13th is Saturday. Please clarify. In my opinion India cannot be free from criminals, terrorits till such time our politicians realise that they are public servants and follow the principles of " SERVICE, SACRIFICE and PATRIOTISM ". They figt for votes and prosperity by any means and all means. B S Ganesh, ganshar@dataone.in 70/9 Basappa Layout, Hanumanthnagar, BANGALORE 560 019
