On this 120K troops to Afghanistan, does anyone really think UPA will send troops months before elections? I'm not arguing the pros/cons of sending troops to Afghanistan, but the very possibility given local vote bank politics. If I recall, wasn't there some protest/agitation in India some years ago by certain communities when this idea was first floated?
