Re: Terroristan - March 31, 2022
Don’t know who Vir singhvi is but refreshing to come across a realist without a trace of self deception. He does make a reference to eroding Panjabyat. It is very simple.

I was dreaming of their default by May, so that they'll agree to all our conditions during IWT discussion.
