VVIP's life is in danger by Syed Zainulabedin on 29 Mar 2008

It is not the first time when the shooting took place in and around the Prime Minister's house or office. The life of VVIP's such as Manmohan Singh and Sonia Gandhi is in danger by the threats of Hindu terrorists group in India. Remember in 1984 Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assasinated by sikh security gaurd Beant Singh who was affialated with Sikh terrorist group. Its better for the government to remove all Hindu officers and personal from the duties and hire US commandos for the security job.
