It is frustrating, that nothing is being done; same speeches delivered, same excuses given, a serpent submission every time, opportunities ignored, personal and group benefits prior to nation for our national icons.
India is wounded, yet again. Delhi, the capital is hurt second time within five months, the very place is bombed on wednesday. But we are witness to these kind of lapses all through to youth-hood, shameful I feel, as we have generated this learned behavior of Chalta Hai – looking every terror attack akin to a loss in a cricket match; where none of our stalwarts batsmen are scoring, elusive bowling line is blunt, sloppy fielding is making the team pay, captain has lost confidence, lacking commitment and dedication to fight to win; isn’t it the same story with our terror fighting team- be it top leaders who seem aimless, administrators directionless, intelligence agencies careless, investigating agencies clueless, law enforcing powerless and the media hopeless – for showing how we adjust to almost anything and the much hyped ‘life goes on’ remarks which TV anchors make on following day of the attack.
Hope of people is shattered with every new incident, every time Team India loses (not for cricket) with nothing in kitty to return to perpetrators of terror, no one is questioned for the lapses, no one is held accountable. A few, who are made political scapegoats on high time, are either made Governors or sent to state to Centre and vice-versa a few months later; where is the accountability then.
Were people who shouted slogans against government on front of Rahul Gandhi and Gulam Nabi Azad are wrong, what our Prime Minister is waiting to happen that will make his government take serious step. Anna Hazare has shown this for fight against corruption, for this more Annas have to stand – for freedom, for nation, for people.
We cannot live fearing a bomb attack and not be in public places on Diwali, Dusherra, New Year, Republic day or on Independence Day. Was this the Nehru’s tryst with destiny, do we wish such destined future for our people.
People in centre have shown grief, touted same line to take action, but everybody now realizes this news is there in media for a couple of days and then lukewarm response of the government for terror will continue. We as a unit have failed to finish a terror case, one such Rajeev Gandhi’s assassination case is a matter of DMK & AIDMK politics over the issue of hanging of the convicts, Mumbai bomb blast’93 is in courts, Afzal and Kasab are waiting for a plane hijack, Government is playing communal politics by naming Hindu groups’ ‘involvement’ in many incidents yet on other hand not releasing Muslims accused and kept in judicial custody in those cases.
Where do we fail, part probably losing out on opportunities, Wikileaks says that India was not serious enough on Headley’s extradition. Our Home Minister says ‘we had information of attack in Delhi’ same was the argument given for the Javeri bazaar blast in Mumbai on July 13th, still we are sending soft signal to the wrong doer, that they shall live till they not get an ‘IC-814 Visa’. Pitfalls in investigations and matching that with case building to stand the test in a court of law, in India or anywhere is still a problem.
I know we have IB, RAW, MI (Military Intelligence), NIA, NSG and Marcos; yet we cannot emulate any success what Israel has done in fighting terror.
