…the Left sometimes uses conservative-sounding or outmoded language. But it essentially [...]

The Verbal Terrorist is back. With a difference. For a change, she has (surprisingly) toned down. When you read the complete article, the reason becomes evident: she has little to say in defence of a terrorist-suspect: SAR Geelani.
Geelani who is one of the prime accused in the attempted Parliament attack a couple of years [...]
