The win of Hamas in the Palestinian elections has well highlighted the fact that even militant groups can indeed participate in elections and win the public mandate. This support of the people would finally pave the way for their demilitarization. Hope our groups like the Maoists and Kashmiri separatists are listening, for the power of the ballot far surpasses that of the gun.
