Quite a list right??? Know any city which has gone through so much and still show no signs of any anger or anything I mean look around even now yesterday evening the city was shaken by a terror attack and everyone had lost their nerve trying to contact their friends and family and check if they are okay and the next day everything is as normal as ever as if nothing happened last night. People have left their houses for work, students returned to their schools and colleges and city is back on tracks already… ya it's a good thing to have such a nice spirit right? A display of our courage that nothing can stop us and all and now in a matter of few hours more people will even stop talking about the attack and then complain about how bad local trains are and how worse the pot holes are and how are government not doing anything.
But do you really think this is right? It's almost 20yrs of repeated terror attacks on Mumbai and our show of how courageous we are. Are we some kind of battle field where bomb attacks are everyday matters? And still we are sitting quite about it? Why? For a weak now the politicians will pretend to be doing some major steps to stop this and then it will be all over people will forget about the attack and the politicians will once again resume their carefree and lavish life. We showed our courage and everything when we helped people in whatever we could during the attack but now what? Just move back to our life without anything?
Which other country or city you know who survived these many terror attacks and still kept quite and behaved as if nothing has happened? There was one 9/11 in US and that was it and after all these years but they have taken revenge, but for us…our terror attacks are like statistics and still no show of any revenge or get back at them strategy okay if even that is too much for our nice little government then at least take some measure so as that nothing like this happens again… increase the security and I am talking about REAL security not the police who just stands for namesake but actually check the cars and keep an eye out of such people. Even the security at the railway stations airports and sea stretch should be increased. Our government has failed to do so over and over again. Its time they take some action something anything. Even the kasab thing and to say so many others who has been accused of bomb blasts and many other things should get the right punishment and that also asap not when he is not old that to hell with the punishment he will die anyway.
The news said that Intelligence had given them warning and that 2people associated with Indian Mujahhdin were arrested on 6th of this month in Mankhurd ... well then why did the government not take some security precautions? Were they waiting for something to happen first? Even today the government officials said that its safe now and that security is increased but whatever I have seen since morning atleast in my locality I see no security or anything to show that there any security precautions taken.
Government of India please please please I plead you please wake up … and also the politicians who keep fighting for all stupid reasons and create news about nothing take a step forward and really fight for some important matters such as this.
