Black Friday in Bangalore
It's hardly been a couple of months to the Jaipur blasts and seven blasts tear across Bangalore! The (artificial) intelligence is still busy playing Rip Van Winkle. The centre warns the Karnataka government just a day before the attack and then they say security is a state issue! And now they will first amend the law to provide paramilitary security to private sectors. Seven blasts in each of three cities Bombay, Jaipur and now Bangalore. They know the six states that are the sensitive areas for terrorists, what's being done for the security of those states? Oh, sorry, they've had more important issues like calling names, trying to topple the ruling party, indulging in communalism because elections are just round the corner, after all!
What will the government do now? Give statements like it's shocking. We need to stop terrorists. Then they'll get into meaningless statistics - how many bombs, how many people died and injured, Lashkar-e-toiba, SIMI will be named, then they will announce compensation to the families, the blame game will begin. By then time a lot of time will have passed and all will be forgotten. Then another bomb blast and the same pattern!
There is an N Deal happening with the US. Why can't they learn about safety from them? Post 9/11 there hasn't been a single attack. But in India, every few months a city is bombed!
What can we do to stop terrorism?
