Blast from the past

Article Abstract:

The Aug 31, 1995, assassination of Punjab Chief Minister Beant Singh threatens to renew violence in Punjab after a three-year calm, trigger new unrest in Kashmir, and damage Indian Prime Minister PV Narasimha Rao's preparations for elections by mid-1996. Rao needed Singh as an ally, and peace in the Punjab was one of his major achievements and a campaign platform. Now Rao's Congress party is torn anew over how to handle renewed tensions within the territory and with Pakistan, which has been accused of supporting the terrorists involved.
