Taj Hotel which has been an icon of Mumbai for the last 100 years has been attacked. Attack on Parliament has still not made the Policy makers learn anything. They have still not made any stringent laws for the sake of security to India.
The ACT which was introduced POTA after the Parliament attack was withdrawn. What was this done for? Would repealing POTA change the terrorists? Before repealing POTA UPA GOVT has not thought of anything. They repealed this ACT without thinking of any other alternative ACT. The only aim they had was to strike at the funding of the terrorists organizations. But should they not have thought of some ACT which should have replaced this before repealing it?
Well leaving this aside, there were recently many blasts in India. Despite these blasts GOVT has not thought of what to be done if another major attack were to happen. If the TAJ attack happened without any prior background on the blasts Indian GOVT could still be absolved. But despite these blasts the present Indian GOVT did not take any serious actions. That is the most disgusting thing.
When the world over every country is investing in increasing the funding in information gathering, Indian GOVT was against investing in increasing the bench strength of RAW, (Research and Analysis Wing) the primary information gathering organization of India. Will the next elected GOVT atleast think of investing in RAW and IB?
Maharastra and AP state GOVT have decided to create commando groups similar to NSG's to tackle situations similar to TAJ attack. But is prevention not better than cure? Should they not think about investing in how to prevent this attacks first? Corruption is the primary reason why many terrorists could obtain documents certifiying them to be Indians very easily. Should not the coming GOVT's take this seriously? But i believe taking this seriously would only create too much red tape and affect the common man from getting their documents tougher and thus finally increase corruption.
Anyways all i wanted to write about is "Prevention is better than cure" and hence any GOVT should think about first on how to prevent these terrorists act. But it should also concentrate of capable of handling these situations gracefully. NSG has definitely handled the TAJ attack very gracefully. Causing little damage to hostages and making sure to bring climax to the incident very swiftly was done very well by these brave Indian heroes.
I salute to all those involved in this rescue mission. Politicians are the only ones to blame here. But then without voting i cannot complain right? I will do my job this coming elections and i hope all those reading this blog will also do the same. VOTE !!!! Exercise your right to elect the right GOVT.
