Another Place, Another Serial Blast, Few Hundred more lost their life and became statistics in the list of sacrificial Lambs sacrificed at the altars of Islamic Terrorism. Who cares!
It was pain & sorrow when we first saw 1993 Mumbai bombings where a series of 13 bomb exploded killing more than 250 Innocent People. It turned to anger when we saw our Parliament - Temple of our Democracy being attacked. Now all the Attacks and Serial Bomb Blasts has just become statistics. It has become an monthly affair and just adds to our Numbness.
After Mumbai blasts we thought the terrorist would be hounded, dead would be vindicated but we saw to our dismay the chief architect - Dawood Ibrahim enjoying the hospitality of our neighbor and marrying of his daughter with usual pomp under full media glare. Our media fell over each other to cover the event. It was sickening when we saw our cricketers, Celebrities and politicians enjoying his hospitality! Then came the shock of attack on parliament, we were told that "Laxman Rekha was crossed". We were lucky that atleast in this case we pretended to react. However, to our dismay our Secularists friends formed All India defense Committee to protect one of the main accused. In the end Supreme court acquitted SAR Geelani But Asked some very uncomfortable questions
What more can we expect when rioters who are killed during police action also gets compensation (Bhiwandi rioters got Rs.1 Lakh ). While compensation is still elusive for parliament Attack widows. Atleast, I am convince that our Maharshtra Government considers everyone equal. Perhaps thats why Innocent Victim of Terrorist Attack get same compensation as rioter (Deshmukh has announced a compensation of Rs one lakh for the relatives of those killed in Mumbai Bomb Blast) .Where our Secular Politicians are falling over each other to Free Abdul Nasser Madhani Chief Architect of Coimbatore blasts which killed more than 50 people. Where a State Minister Haji Yaqoob Qureishi announces a cash reward of Rs 51 crore for anyone who beheads the Danish cartoonist who caricatured Prophet Mohammad and still gets away with it!
In the mayhem of course our ministers worked overtime to bring humor. to the situation.
When informed of Attacks our Home Minister said that Mrs Sonia Gandhi had been informed. It's good that even in this critical time the central government did not forget its priorities.
The Kashmir government spokesmen said that the terrorist blasts occurred to divert attention from the PoK elections. Was any great attention being paid to those elections?
I am waiting for Laloo to appoint another U. R Banerjee Commission, who after months of investigation will find out that it was not bombs which exploded it was cooking cylinders. He would add that it is common practice in Mumbai that people cook in first class compartments.
As always we are awaiting to hear the feeble reassuring words of our PM. I am sure he is working hard to get a go ahead from all the other PM's ("S"PM, "C"PM...)
All this while we were jealously watching other nations proactively protecting the citizens. US attacked 2 countries,Israell invaded Gaza to protect a single Army Person. Let them do what ever they want, We will not react after all we are SECULAR, NON ALIGNED REPUBLIC. We are second most populous nation, we can effort people getting killed
The TRAGIC IRONY:-
Compensation to Dead Rioter of Bhiwandi: Rs. 1 Lakh
Compensation to Dead Innocent Victim of Mumbai Train Blast: Rs 1 Lakh
