From The Capital PINS Launched

A non-official and non-political organisation known as People's Initiative for National Security (PINS) has been recently launched with Shri AK Kaul as its Convenor. It seeks to build up an informed public opinion on the problems of national security particularly after the recent outrages at Mumbai and Srinagar. P.IN.S will touch upon issues of national importance concerning national security and emphasise how Kashmir problem is intimately connected with the general onslaught against India. It feels the state of India is not adequately prepared or equipped to deal with the situation. The need of public awakening on this account is felt more today than ever before. As a first step, the PIN.S is scheduled to raise the demand of deportation of all illegal immigrants. KSD has expressed full support and assistance to the venture.
