Between terrorism and recession, which in your opinion poses a bigger threat to the nation and which should be given priority while dealing with?

Manjari Shivahare: Terrorism is a major threat to the nation involving loss of life, property, human rights and posing a danger even to the sovereignty of the country. In my opinion, India's economic policy was on a fairly sound footing even during the height of the recession and now with a stable government at the helm and a chance to continue to follow the economic policies initiated by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, and Chidambaram, India is already beginning to show signs of recovery from it. On the other hand its record in dealing with terrorism is faulty and should be dealt with sternly and immediately.
