Dear Editor,

I appreciate the statements made by Father Rodrigues in relation to communication with the “terrorists.” Father Rodrigues, however, in my opinion, has failed to address the possibility that a deviation from the current norm of military/police engagement to dialogue can set the stage for a new trend in criminal activities involving growth of competitive pockets of anti-government resistance movements, each vying to surpass the other in criminal activities to gain the right of meeting at the conciliatory level with the government for varying demands

Would you like that, Father Rodrigues?

Yours faithfully,

Krishna Nand Prasad
