We, The Terrorists

This post was made in response to the story on CNN IBN about the declaration by LeQ taking responsibility for the blasts.


To call off Diplomatic talks with Pakistan took 3 days and we demand India to start a proxy war in Pakistan. Wake up, this is India. Our politicians are thorough professionals - only playing politics with no action, there is an endless wait. Remember, justice on more than decade old blasts, are still pending in the court. Justice delayed, justice denied.

Who cares if 200 people die, who cares if the country’s security has not only been breached but attacked, and all we care for is "Spirit of Mumbai". At least that’s what the wartime like propaganda reflects across media. INDIA ATTACKED on 7/11 like US ATTACKED on 9/11 years ago but our "Proxy" Prime Minister hasn’t got much to say to its people. Forget about the action, they even lack the words.

People of Pakistan and India are the recipients of the brunt of this political game that started way back in 1947 post independence. Will it ever end? How many more lives will it claim and after all, is all this worth it? These are question that need to be answered.

Terrorists turn media savvy. Inspired from Bollywood flick they lay claim to their misdeeds through e-mail to TV channel.We , the terrorist - they say it out loud. They are "breaking news" and channels broadcasting it. This is not some "Casting couch story" to create sensationalism. It is a national security issue. Hope media understands the difference and treats it as required. As citizens, has the propaganda so besieged our mental faculties that we can’t see this difference?

Tomorrow morning every paper will talk of militant organization that has claimed to commit hideous act of violence but will conveniently forget about challenge that lays forth our authorities and the common citizens. They have conveyed their message. The reasons for blasts – Kashmir and Gujarat – are both sensitive issues that have been prolonging forever; Issues that are now becoming a threat to each one of us. Let’s not shrug shoulders. If no one cares for our security, we are also part of our misfortune as we have elected this government. - the government which is blind to rising smoke, deaf to ever exploding bombs and dumb about injustice being inflicted upon its people. Remember among the 200 dead could be one of us tomorrow, if things don’t change soon.
Vande Matram.
