Rehman, Sibal pointed out that the Justice D P Wadhwa Commission of inquiry had mentioned the failure of the central intelligence agencies as well. By this yardstick the Congress should demand dismissal of the caretaker government at the Centre, he quipped.
Sibal said the murder of Reverend Arul Doss with bows and arrows, coming on the heels of the barbaric hacking and burning to death of Rehman last week and the burning alive of the Staines in January, are all inextricably linked. They are symptoms of a larger poison being spread with great deliberation, he said.
"To attack altruistic people, to burn them alive, to aim a quiver of arrows into them, to hack them to death with axes, is completely unacceptable" and betrays a seriously sick mind, Sibal said, adding that this is not the way to a new century but to the Stone Age.
He, therefore, appealed to the people not to vote for a culture of hatred, intolerance and divisiveness, but for stability in the country, for programmes and coherence of vision.
