Prakash Raj: Children of my country shiver with fear and cry.... As Karni Sena attacks a school bus... The elected government looks the other way. The opposition party diplomatically reacts... Aren’t you all ashamed to trade our children’s safety for your vote bank politics?

Sudhir Mishra: Every act of benevolence or hatred these days is done to please a constituency. I want to know who are the people who support an attack on children.

Vishal Dadlani: Dear Narendra Modiji. Just today, in a BJP-run state, a bus full of school children were attacked by goons. This “discussion” has been on since November. Your governments in four states have been unable to contain a bunch of criminals. Could you please denounce them publicly, at least?

Anubhav Sinha : Dear Indian National Congress, we are as surprised by your quiet as we are about everyone else’s. Just so you know. A good opposition should be out there in the streets seeking justice. You are as responsible for this chaos as anyone else.
