Is there no honour amongst our leaders and artists?

50 days has gone by since the Mumbai Attack. We have still not arrested anyone other than the lone gunmen. Surely, an attack of this magnitude could not have been carried out without local support. Why is it that no one is talking about this?

People, including the Honourable External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and the PM, have been crying hoarse over those who might be arrested in Pakistan (fat chance of that happening!) being handed over to India so that they can be sent to trial here. One small issue everyone seems to have forgotten. India DO NOT have an EXTREDITION TREATY with Pakistan. In the absence of an extredition treaty, no one arrested in Pakistan can be handed over to India - Simple as that. All these hot air talks are for the gullible public consumption.

On top of it India wants Prabhakaran of LTTE to be extredited to India for plotting the assassination of Rajiv Gandhi, provided he is captured by the Srilankan Army in the first place. Prabhakaran has committed more crimes and assassinations in Srilanka than the one of our late Prime Minister. Also, Prabhakaran is in his 50's. He will welcome the idea of being made to face the Indian courts than the Srilankar courts. He can prolong his trial till he is into his late 70's. Even then, if he is finally convicted to death, he can give a mercy petition and people like Vaiko will take care of the rest. If you have any doubt, ask Afsal Guru.

Did you notice the psuedo secularists popping their head up again protesting against the attack by MNS goons on the Pakistan comedian in the Zee TV set. I dont believe in the methods of MNS or Shivsena. But is it not ridiculous that, having known the public sentiments, Zee TV should have the galls to invite a Pakistani Artist to perform in India? And that person did indeed accept the invitation and performed, for a fat fee of course. Is there no honour amongst our media and artists?

Nation comes first, second and last. When people realize that, India will be once again the proud civilization that it was once.
