My Comment: There is a great deal of concern among many Indians on the release of Pakistani nuclear scientist Abdul Qadeer Khan. His involvement in the selling of nuclear technologies to rogue states makes many wonder that since he is now free, will he go back to his old ways and do the same type of business with other rogue countries and/or terror groups and organizations.
This fear is understandable. If Pakistani linked terror groups have no trouble spreading terror and destruction in a major Indian city like Mumbai, the idea of detonating a small nuclear device and/or dirty bomb in a major India city will not be too much of a stretch to contemplate.
The Congress Party of India is not the government in India .... but by voicing what many are now fearing in India, they are positioning themselves to become the government in the next election.
