The works of some idiots will go as headaches for the President and the Prime Minister. This is not like old days. The next second what is going on is seen worldwide. Tamil Nadu leaders and even British and Canadian politicians are voicing out. Army Chief had to tell BBC that his men was not involved in this kind of work.
