A disaster seems to be over...But what next..??

Once again Mumbai has faced the longest, deadliest form of cruelty. After 60 hours of mayhem terrorists are killed, but has the terror over? Hundreds of people, including guests, businessmen, NRIs, foreigners, commuters, hotel and hospital staff, our police, and commandos all died. Terrorism spares no caste, age, colour or position. In the very hour of warlike situation we all were undergoing the same tension, fear, having same questions: when will it end? How long body count will keep on increasing? When our politicians will take it seriously? While working, eating, travelling, before sleeping, we were just thinking about the updates from Taj , oberoi, worried about the hostages and our forces,and had sheer anger of the politicians so called caretaker of our country. But thanks to our commandos, fire brigade, NSG, who dedicated their lives and fought over 2 days and 3 nights to save Mumbai. Our brave forces have killed those butchers. Carnage was over finally but many things should start now. We must decide what needs to do now.

Almost every year 2-3 times India is facing terrorist attack over metro cities, hundreds of people getting killed. They are trying to be successful in spreading terror in our mind. But what steps have been taken so far? Why do our intelligence systems fail to have any clue of such a major assault? And even if these systems or people give some warnings why those are still ignored? Just setting up new committees, panels will solve the problems? Why can’t these politicians use ever increasing tax, collected from us, to provide better security measures instead of spending it for their own security guards? In such a major city we don’t have enough force, trained commandos to face such crisis. Police got killed due to lack of bulletproof jackets, up to date arms to fight with techno savvy terrorists. Our sea borders are still not protected. Anybody, along with ammunition, RDX can enter the financial capital of India. Even before 1993 blast, terrorists have entered here in same way. But still our police, ministers have not woke up. Even after 15 years, terrorist are welcome on same shore of Mumbai. When is this going to end? And even in such a chaos what are doing our ministers? They are either resigning from the post instead of taking strong decision or starting blame game, or making any childish comment, or visiting the disaster plots like a picnic. Hope they won't start terror place tourism now..And in current scenario, with these pathetic politicians, what difference will it make to us or those terrorists, even if somebody else replaces the existing CM, or other ministers?They are such boneless that even after having enough proof, none of our minister can mutter the name who is behind this attack. Why can’t they take any international press conference, and present the proofs they have along with the confession of detained terrorist? Why can’t they pressurize the enemy to hand over the mastermind behind these attacks? But this all need guts. There is no worse agony than having such shameless people to lead the nation. They have no sight beyond their votebanks. In the lure of votes they forget their duties. Even after such havoc, we afraid to expect that they would become mature, respect their position and think about the people.

But in the same way even a common man must understand that any of his deed, may be it is unintentional, should not help such anti-humanity people. At least at our own level we can stop corruption. But no, it has become a lingering disease in Indians. How come these terrorists can stay in 5 star hotels over 8 months? How can they store 40 kg RDX in hotel room itself? How can they posses ID cards of an Indian institute? If we try to find out answers, it will somewhere strike to corruption surely. Though the assault is by external slayers, it would not have been possible without help of our own people.

Politicians, untouched in this massacre, are now visiting the people who got injured or lost their loved ones, showing their superficial sympathy, asking to stay calm, appreciating the famed spirit of Mumbai to bounce back. Before doing all these, at least once they should stand in the shoes of those people, whose husband, wife, parents, children or friends are killed in this disaster. How long we would bare it? Is it really the time to stay calm or to unite and fight against our internal and external enemies? Our spirit must become our strength. Instead of blaming the system we should enter into it and try to break the shackles around us. Now power is with them who don’t deserve it. We should strive to give it to those who can use it as weapon against any threat to the nation. We have to find the leader who love and care for the country. Though we may return to our daily life very soon, the grief of such carnage, memories of those innocent people who got killed mercilessly, of our soldiers who dedicate their life for us will always be alive in us. And that only will inspire us to stand up to secure our beloved India and Indians.

I salute our brave jawan, police who fought till end, even got 'shaheed' for us..! And my sincere condolence to the people who have lost their beloved..
And at least for sake of all these people,for sake of a life of every Indian, we have to start with a new beginning...!!
