Terrorism in India...Whos Line is it anyway?

Varanasi bombs explosions shook the whole nation, not b'coz place of worship was targeted among others but so many innocent ppl got killed by maniacs who think that will fulfill their goals -- whatever they are. The only thing they have achieved is that they have reserved a seat for themselves in Hell. However this is not the only reason that saddens me. Its the attitude what makes me sad and ashamed. Attitude of govt., politicins, media and relious fundamentalists. At this time of national grief...ppl are busy in making allegations, new ways of improving TRPs/vote bank, spreading communal tensions.
To start with the govt....yea the customary meetings, calling up the Chief Minister etc. etc. what was their in the manual is all done. what the govt shud do frm this point of time is WAKE UP! and tighten the screws of the intelligence agencies, arm the local police well and pay them well which will keep thier motivation lever high. 303 is obsolete, provide them smthing they can bank upon. There is a significant lack of co-ordination among different govt. agencies which is evident frm the reports after such incidents. When the Govt. will take steps to correct the shorcommings in its policies? After how many incidents? After how many loss of lives? Reading this article, many ppl feel (including me) that the govt. is lax in its policy to tacle Terrorism. There are laws like TADA which has brought its misuse by political parties to the limelite. We are talking abt National Security, our security and these ppl are framing laws so that they can settle political scores. Will these "wise" men will ever grow up and think beyond politics? i wonder! We should have a firm policy in place so that such henious attcks does not occur in fututre and the culprits get appropriate punshment.
Media .. Please do not bother abt ur TRPs, Stop sensationalising news. Also stop asking Stupid Questions! Media is also a partner in spreading communal tensions along with political parties by asking stupid questions and giving ideas to crazy ppl. Political parties these are the culprits responsible for dividing Indian society, causing tensions, violence while they have a quality time on our expense (tax payers money and general public ignorance). Still at this point they are trying to woo people by playing with their sentiments..worse spreading tension, hatered. I wonder which other nations' PM calls upon his ppl for restraint among people of differnent religions..It Happens Only in India! Hon. politicinas understand one thing these are the lives of people ur playing with not the vote banks as u see it.
Religious Fundamentalists all i want to say abt them is Shut Up! if u want to do any good to the ppl of ur religion if not society help the ppl who are suffering frm poverty, disease.
Finally people of India "Jago", understand what is in our interest and not get provoked by silly comments. Choose ou representatives wisely. Live and let live

You touch the right coordinates in terms of government, media, fundamentalists, ppl of India etc.

But I dont think the govt policy is lax. We can have as stringent norms but unless right things are done, such incidents will keep on happening. BJP thought of as a tough party...Akshardham, parliament and the Kargil war was allowed to happen in their rule. So no party can stake claim or point fingers at others.

I donot know what policy are they talking about. I can think of only one policy ' the right things and just do it'. No one follows this, because it involves doing tuff things.

Regarding media...they are not behaving in a responsible manner. They are acting like cartoons. Once I had put a very well written article on my blog relating to that. You may search it in google or in the search tab on the top in my blog. Its titled 'Scarring us senseless'

To fight terrorism only one thing is required 'political will'. But with it comes uncertainity and risks which no political party in India wants so take. Why will they, when their life is cool? They have power, they amass wealth, bring their next generations to seats of power. Why will they care about others (common people)?

What they do is ocassional rhetoric about fighting terrorism or licking other countries to make them issue one statement denouncing terrorism, thats all.

Buy yourself Embraer Jets, get kickback in the process. Give 25 crores Rs for refurbishing the already plush interiors and inflight entertainment. Why to think of common people?

Napoleon had said that for a man the foremost priority is his interests. So there !

well raj the policy is too soft and any new policy the govt makes; they first try to see whats in it for their benifit. Consider TADA and what happened to it.

Good post. Your views are very true - the media, the politicians, the fundamentalists all taking us public for a royal ride. Hope we can stand united to fight the terrorists as much as the fundamentalists.
