India-Canada ties

To avoid further worsening of diplomatic ties, which will have far-reaching consequences, India and Canada should have a joint fact-finding venture that holds an inquiry into the matter.

Ignoring credible evidence and raising accusations and counter-accusations will not serve the interests of either India or Canada (Page 1, September 20).

It would be better for Canada to submit all evidence it has, which made it arrive at the conclusion about the killing, in the public domain. This move by Canada is likely to make India state clearly how and why it is refuting the evidence. With all possible information available, the people of both democracies can draw their own conclusions.

Better late than never

The unanimous passing of the Women’s Reservation Bill in the Lok Sabha may be historic, but it appears to be a ploy by the ruling party to reap political benefits. The fact that one has to wait till after the Census and delimitation exercise is a dampener. But still, one can find solace in that it is better late than never.
