Two of three terrorists killed in the Gurdaspur gun battle. Intermittent firing still on. One more to go. The death toll so far is six -- three civilians, three policemen from the Punjab force.


The Congress was isolated in the Lok Sabha today with MPs from many parties demanding a statement from the government on the Punjab terror. The Congress MPs on the other hand were still in a time warp shouting slogans against PM Modi and EAM Sushma Swaraj.


In fact, a few senior union ministers told Congress MPs that the government wanted to make a statement on terror in Punjab, but the  Congress leadership was confused about which way to go.


Advisors of Rahul Gandhi like Gaurav Gogoi and Sushmita Dev -- all first-timers in Parliament -- suggested that the government should not be allowed to make a statement, while Jyotiraditya Scindia and Mallikarjuna Kharge wanted the hear what the government had to say.


Net result: Confusion.
