Why is India being knocked down by terrorists over and over and over again? Why is the government allowing such terrorists to cross over and bomb cities? And why hasn't there been any retaliation by the ruling Congress?
Heck, Pakistani terrorist Kasab, who took headshots at hundreds of Indians on 26/11 is cooling his heels in prison even at this moment; and India cannot use him as proof that Pakistani soil was used to train him, because Pakistan simply denies it!
Let me give you a brief outline of these terrorists' recent vacations to India: On March 7, 2006 triple bombings in Varanasi killed 23 people and injured 68 others at an ancient temple and crowded railway station. On May 21, 2006 seven people including two guerrillas were killed in Srinagar as militants attacked a Congress party rally, three days ahead of the prime minister's visit for the second Kashmir roundtable. On July 11, 2006 eight people, including tourists and pilgrims, were killed in five hand grenade attacks in Srinagar. The same day 135 were killed in Mumbai in serial blasts in suburban trains at during rush hour in the evening.
On February 19, 2007 68 people were killed in Panipat after two bombs went off on the Samjhauta Express. On May 18, 2007, 12 people were killed in historic Mecca Mosque in the Charminar area of Hyderabad. On Aug 25, 2007 42 were killed in two blasts at Gokul Chat and Lumbini Park at Hyderabad. On May 13, 2008 : 80 people killed in serial bomb blasts in Jaipur. On July 25, July 26, 2008 57 people killed after 18-odd synchronised bombs went off within less than two hours in Ahmedabad.
On September 13, 2008, 26 people killed in six serial bomb blasts at Karol Bagh, GK-II and Connaught Place in New Delhi. On September 27, 2008 three people were killed after a crude bomb exploded in Mehrauli. On September 29, 2008 five people died after a bomb went off in a crowded market at malegaon. On October 01, 2008 two people killed and 100 injured in serial bomb blasts in crowded market places in Agartala. On Oct 14, 2008 eight people injured after bomb planted on a rented bicycle went off in the Colonelganj market in Kanpur. On Oct 30, 2008 at least 50 killed in serial bomb blasts across Assam.
And the biggie - on Nov 26, 2008 183 killed and over 300 injured in a daring terror attack at Hotel Taj, Nariman House, Hotel Trident Oberoi and other places in the city. It was the worst-ever terror attack in India which lasted for 59 hours. Nine terrorists were gunned down, while one (Dear Kasab) was caught alive. 20 policemen and 2 NSG Commandos were killed, while 23 foreign nationals were among the dead.
Was that a tedious list to read? Get a load of this - the terrorists at the Taj on 26/11 were constantly in touch with their handlers back in Pakistan, and everytime they got tired of shooting Indians in their heads, they got boosts and pep talks from their handlers over the phone. A few CDs were produced in a Mumbai court on Wednesday which contained recorded conversations between the attackers and their handlers. Here is an example of the morale boosting lines given to the attackers: "Fight like a lion! If you see movements (of armed forces) then you fire!" Yes, India did allow perpetrators of terror attacks to go scot-free.
Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad, and even Pakistan's ISI was involved with the terrorist attacks. Yet India has absolutely no power or will to do anything about it. To add the bitter salt, the Pak Interior Minister Rehman Malik claimed that India is funding Taliban fighters to cause unrest in Pakistan. And to add in the guffaws Pakistan set free Hafiz Saeed, the mastermind of the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. What can we do? The least India could have is a conceived and conceptualised security architecture. Thankfully the Indian armed forces have embarked on their 'modernisation drive' and will benefit from the emerging technologies like the IT sector.
A top brass military man stated today: "US has not allowed a second 9/11 to happen, Indonesia has not allowed a second Bali-bombing to happen. India has allowed people to get away after the Parliament attack, Delhi blasts and finally the 26/11 incident. The time for all of us has come to say no more." I wholeheartedly agree with Army Chief General Deepak Kapoor. Enough is Enough.
