Ostrich Mentality

The Government has taken an Ostrich like stand towards terrorism. It is clear as daylight to even a casual observer that Government inaction (gross negligence, tacit support - you may call it by whatever name) has led to the proliferation of Indian sleeper units of terrorists that have sprouted up during the last decade. It extends from Kashmir to Kerala. The influx of gulf money and the indoctrination the NRIs get there has been transformed into terror units that work in tandem and in isolation. 

The Central Government has refused to accept that there are Indian terror cells. It is ever so convenient to put the blame of Pakistan, so that we dont have to take any action, other than crying foul over Pakistan not doing anything. This is why, we hardly dug deep into the support given by Indians to the 26/11 Mumbai attacks. We have hardly convicted anyone within India during these past 15 years. Even the two who are convicted, Afsal Guru and Kasab, are leading royal lives in the jail, at State expense when they should have been dead and buried long ago. All one has to do to know how we pamper terrorists is to see the kind of medical treatment Abdul Nasser Madani gets in the Karnataka Jail, or earlier in Coimbatore Jail. He is undergoing high end ayurvedic treatment that he could perhaps not afford were he out of the jail!!!

We need to clean up the internal threat and sleeper cells on a priority basis, strengthen our intelligence gathering, and give police a free hand - but most importantly put behind bars motor mouth idiots like Digvijay Singh (and his master and mistress) who does more damage to our fight against terror by making reckless statements, than the ISI.

The threat, of late, is from within. Earlier we realize this, the better
