Terming the situation totally volatile and grave in this border state which is grappling with cross border terrorism for last over 23 years, RSS Sangchalak Brig (retd) Suchet Singh told reporters that it is unfortunate that the public representatives who are under an oath to Constitution of the country also join the separatist forces in opposing the death sentence to mastermind of Parliament attack Afzal Guru. This is totally unfortunate that praiseworthy words are used on the floor of the House for him, he added.
