Terrorism – Who is responsible for this?
It is frustrating, painful, helpless situation for the common man of this country now days. With so many terrorist attacks having in all parts of the country has put a question mark on credibility of government, security forces, intelligence etc. Situation was not the same few years back. So question is that ideally it should have been controlled and decreased but what’s the reason that in spite of all the actions being said or taken situation is going worst. Biggest reason for this problem is selfish and self centered politics and so called secularism. Current government has at no point expressed the will to fight with terrorists. Not only this, they have expressed such opinions and have made such statements which has given a message to all anti-social elements that this government is kind with them and whatever they will do, no one will take any action against them.
This government started showing its soft corner by revoking POTA. This was done just to please a particular community. If there was any charges made against misuse of this law, that could have been looked upon and measures would have been taken to ensure that such incidents will not get repeated. But by doing this vote bank would not have increased. So they decided to just revoke this rule by doing compromise with national security. I am not in favor of BJP and I agree that releasing terrorists in case of plain highjack was a blunder but at the same time it’s an established fact that terrorist attacks were not so common during those days. This government took all right/wrong measures to win the no trust motion. Common man of this country doesn’t need any proof and it’s an established fact that huge money was distributed to MPs to make sure that the Government is saved. Was this money a white money, it cannot be. Was this money sponsored by business man, doesn’t look like and even it was they will look to make profit out of this investment and that will of course not be within the legal framework. So some out of the way adjustments will be made to ensure that their investment is profitable. Easiest source to get such huge money is from anti-social elements, they will not ask any short term profit, they will not ask any cabinet birth, they will not ask for any government post but they will ask for compromises on national security. And for this government saving government, appeasing a particular community seems to be more important task than taking care of national security. I am not saying that 100% of leaders are of this characteristics but even if they are 1%, they are equally harmful and unfortunate part is that nothing is being done to ensure that such elements don’t get the opportunities they want.
Today attack after attack is taking place, no one is being caught, no damage is being done to their network, they are celebrating their success and inspiring lots of jobless and poor people that see how easy is to explode a bomb anywhere and nothing will happen to you, you will get good money to do this and there is no risk attached. Question is what attempt this government has taken to ensure that there is fear of law to common man, what measures has been taken to ensure that people will think again and again of the punishments if they will commit any crime. Answer is none. Terrorists have got such strong will power now that they are writing emails before attack and challenging governments but what about the will power of security personnel, government.
Afjal Guru was sentenced by Supreme Court long back but he has not been executed till now, is there a valid reason? Congress has been telling that his petition is pending in president office and it will take time as there are so many other petitions. But are those other petitions are related to someone who attacked Indian parliament? Even a common man knows that president office works mostly in favor of the government and if this government wanted to make a decision on this issue, it would have been resolved long back. It is bad luck of this country that a person, who has attacked Indian parliament, has been proved guilty by Supreme Court has been punished death sentence but is still not being seen as terrorist by this government. For this government he belongs to a particular caste and hence they cannot decide to hang his as this may result in loss of vote bank.
Sabarjit is in prison in Pakistan for no crime at all and people in Pakistan are also trying for his release. No one in Pakistan, not even any terrorist group ever linked his release with Afjal’s release but one of the most senior leader of congress who also holds a senior ministry in this government made a statement that if we want Sabarjit to be released how we can ask Afjal to be hanged. Whole national was shoked with this statement. I thank to Sabarjit’s family who came forward and made a statement very clearly that if Sabarjit will be released on the cost of Afjal then they would like Sabarjit to be hanged. But this leader has nothing to do with national interest. Can he justify why Afjal is not hanged till now. Seems he is waiting for a good opportunity to release him. This is the mindset of the government to fight against terrorism.
Just few minutes after the news came of bomb blasts in Gujrat, Shakil Ahmed- State Home Minister of India made statement on TV that this is state government failure. Can he say that Gujrat is not part of India? Was this a proper statement at that time? That was the time to show that country is united and will take whatever measures is required to fight against it and to ensure that guilty people will be behind the bars. Just because that state is not having a congress government gave him liberty to put all blame on state government. Our Home minister Shivraj Patil made a very bookish statement after Banglore blasts and requested people to maintain peace. Next day itself blasts happened in Gujrat and he made the same statement without changing a word in it. Is this expected from a home minister of a so called strong country called India?In a program on NDTV on 26th July a senior leader of congress was advocating the point that we should not be hard with terrorists. We need to have talk with them, listen to what they want and try to bring back them in main stream. He was giving an example of Israel, and according to him Israel is very strict on terrorism but still could not control terrorism. Fact is that Israel has controlled it for sure, there is only a small area in Israel which is still uncontrolled and there also it’s not so common to have terrorist attacks. But can this leader give us any example where terrorists were treated like national guests and they were able to bring back peace.
It is being announced in all media forms that our Prime Minister is such a visionary that he is looking 40 years ahead and is signing the deal with US. Country wants to know today that electricity is not that big problem today; no one is being attacked in bomb blasts if we have electricity problems but our PM is coming with all his vision to resolve this issue. Is he having any vision for the issues who is taking lives of common people every day, is he having any vision to stop the terrorism, is he having the courage to assure the people of this country that whoever is behind this will be brought behind the bars in given time frame.
When I saw Rang De Basanti, I thought that the solution being suggested by this movie is not good but looking at the current scenario, it looks like the most appropriate solution. Till what time these leaders expect the common man to lose lives of their near and dear ones and maintain patience? They will continue making stupid statements, will continue doing anti national activities, will continue to be soft with anti-national elements and will expect common man to trust them. It’s not far when the frustration, anger, hopelessness of the common man will force him to take law in his hand and that day I see story of ‘Rang De Basanti’ being repeated by the common man to bring back some ray of hope.
