Separation of Andhra / Telangana and Non-Separation of Sri Lanka / Tamil Eelam
The present ruling Congress party under Sonia’s leadership has proved time and again that it lacks democratic decision making capability and basic common sense to solve sensitive issues be it within India or outside India.
