Mani’s strange ways

At a time when the world is uniting against terrorism, Congress leader Mani Shankar Aiyar justifying the Paris terror attacks is disturbing. That the attacks were the result of “anti-Islam phobia that is being carried out in Western countries” defies logic. The ISIS is a terrorist organisation and such inhumane acts can’t be justified.

Mr Aiyar’s remarks have not only put the Congress in a tight spot but have also led to much embarrassment internationally.
