A Wake Up Call For All Of India!

7/11 terror attacks in Mumbai,Varanasi terror attack in March 2006,29/10 Delhi blasts,dithering over the hanging of a CONVICTED terrorist,bonafide terrorists like Abu Salaym,Valiullah having the audacity to express interest in contesting elections in UP,etc. have proved that the Government lacks a comprehensive national security strategy. Terrorism is a menace afflicting the world.It has hit India the hardest on so many occasions.Our leaders(I doubt that we should call them as such) run the country in such a callous and cavalier fashion.Inspite of so many terror attacks,the govt shows complete impotence and spinelessness in dealing with terrorism.India is probably the only country in the world which has repealed a stringent anti-terror law which would have been effective in the long run.The moment someone talks of a stringent anti-terror law,they are branded 'communal' which is unfortunate.Appeasement politics is not going to take India forward.The govt and the civil society which must learn to be vigilant has to take certain tough decisions in the interest of national security.Otherwise,the toothless laws in effect currently will not serve as a deterrent to terrorists.As far as Pakistan is concerned,"peace with dignity" is what I want,not"peace at any cost".If the cost of 'peace' with Pakistan is going to be loss of thousands of innocent lives,then we will have to rethink our rapproachment/relationship with Pakistan.
