Politicians should be their next target

September 13, 2008- Five serial blasts in less than half an hour left 30 people dead (toll likely to rise) and many injured. Where corridors of the hospitals are clogged with wailing kins of the victims, the Indian government is playing with words, saving its reputation and consoling them spuriously. Think of the survivors of the blast, their lives have met a fag end. They forever have to live with the scars of the mishap which could have been forestalled. Had government beefed up the security measures and made stringent law policies, several families had been living happily in their homes, people would have been milling around the markets freely and going to work tension-free.

The terrorists are on a loose because of our handicapped anti-terrorism policies and weak administration. The inner framework of our country is inoperative and frail. Though, we should take preventive measures and take our security in our own hands, the ultimate power is in the hands of government who safely abide in their Z-security zones. These politicians should be thrown out of their well-secured homes to the bumpy streets and shall be asked to lead a life of a normal Indian citizen. Apparently, this could only make them realize the problems faced by us-poverty, terror, hunger and more. Their bank lockers crammed with crores of green notes and their properties in abounding number have blindfold them, hence they do not realize what we go through everyday.

The right time has come, Indian government has proved its inefficiency time and again, it can neither take care of our security nor of our hunger and needs; therefore we should take command in our hands. What do you think? Shall we move to streets and demand our inevitable right to live safely, eat sumptuously and reside respectfully or just sit back and crib about the sad state of affairs in our country? wake up guys its our country, our nation, we have to condemn the unnecessary government domination and live life our own way. These tainted politicians are just raking-in moolah and stuffing their own pockets. In the light of the unfortunate Saturday and for the relatives of the casualties, let us make authorities realize that we will not take things lying down. . Where are we secured? lets ask them.

Can we hit back?

September 13, Saturday, powerful explosion rocked Central park, Connaught Place and then explosion followed in Barakhamba Road, Greater Kailash M block market and in Gaffar market. Live bomb found & diffused in India Gate and Regal building. Result 21 dead and 110 injured. Our people lost their lives in this dastardly attack but are we capable of hitting back? Are we capable of inflicting maximum damage to the terrorist?

Delhi blast showed us once more that we are becoming a week nation and anyone can use our vulnerability to do whatever they want, in lieu we will regret, mourn, and discuss how to prevent these attacks. Our politicians will bring a beautiful statement like Mr. Shivraj Patel and will urge us to maintain communal harmony and peace. Government will give compensation to the affected people. But do we have the capability of getting united and take revenge of this terrorist attacks.

In countries like USA and Israel, the reaction of a terrorist attacks proves very costly to the terrorist groups as the government of these countries severely crackdown on terrorist. In Israel, terror strikes are followed by counter strikes by Israeli government which proves effective and send clear message that they are not going to take things lightly. The case is bit different in our country, our government spend huge amount of money in creating and maintaining highly trained, world class special forces. These Special Forces are capable of carrying strikes deep inside Pakistan, POK and Bangladesh hitting them in there own ground and destroy infrastructure.

But our government will not permit these forces to do so and terrorist will be happier to realize this weakness of our country. If USA or Israel would be in place of India they would have bombed terrorist camps spread all over POK, Pakistan and Bangladesh. Our army, navy and air force are renowned for brilliant fighting capabilities, why don't our government authorize a counter strikes or if conventional warfare is not possible then use CIA style covert, overt operations, subversion and sabotage deep inside Pakistan, POK and Bangladesh. Destroy the camps; inflict maximum damage to human and material resources. This will be a great revenge for all these terrorist attacks and will send clear message to terrorists, that you may hit us but we will not spare you either.
