STRIKE BY OIL OFFICERSBy: joseph | Friday , 9 Jan '09 12:44:17 PM Reply | Forward We usually resort to the easiest route of blaming the politicians for all follies done by anybody in the country. The oil officers should be taken to task for holding the country to ransom. They are worse than the terrorists and hijackers as even they could not have unleashed so much of pain to the common man.
