(The blasts in Ahmedabad, Delhi and now which probably aims Mumbai, only means a huge setback for the central policies on Defence. The present 'ever-ambigious' centre which seems to be always in dilemma on acting on terrorism, now needs to answer lot of questions about their citizen's security.)
The centre seems to be always worried on how to react to terrorism. They always seemed to be confused between terrorism and its links to Islam. We must realise that terrorism in any form which is dangerous to the lives of citizens must be seriously stopped by the Government, no matter which organisation, religion or caste they represent.
But, the actions of the centre only reflect their dilemma over the action against 'sensitive' vote bank. The Afzal Guru case also represents that, and we see this attitude of the appeasement program, where it means a lot: Kashmir.
J&K CM Ghulam Nabi Azad of the Congress, Communist and local political groups voiced their support of clemency for Afzal. It is alleged many have done so to appease Muslim voters in Kashmir. Ms.Mehabooba Mufti goes a step forward. She said that if clemency appeals were made for Sarabjit citing his Indian nationality, voices should also be raised for Afzal for "he too is an Indian citizen. "Two citizens of India cannot be treated with different yardsticks" she had said. But, little they understand that there is a huge difference. And our Home minister Shivraj Patil has said that Guru's mercy petition is pending with Delhi Government and it may have "some reasons" in delaying the decision. Wow! the Government of India and the Government of Delhi, which is run 'ironically' by Congress, has always got "some reasons" to delay the matters of security! He also adds that, "On controlling terrorism in the country, the police forces here were not trained to fight a battle against terrorist and they need to be trained for it." Well, after 5 years of staying as Home minister, only Mr.Patil can dare to speak like a consultant.
We all admit that security of the whole nation is a gargantuan task. But, at the same time, I would like to question what significant moves have been taken to mitigate this burning problem of today. For instance, Right to Information Act is a significant move to eradicate Corruption. 108 services was a good step to help out the emergency medical problems. But, what about security?
I wouldnt see POTA as a panacea of all the security problems. But, by just thrashing down POTA with no replacement wouldnt be seen as a sensible move. Mr.Patil is undoubtfully an over-hyped and ill-performing minister in the Congress ministry, who is definitely good at one thing: FLATERRY!.
