How safe is INDIA?
After Bangalore & Ahmedabad,13 September was Delhi's turn to suffer from terrorist attacks.Five explosions within the span of 22 minutes rocked the city.Well that was not the end of it all.Three bombs were found and one was at India Gate,right next to Rashtrapathi Bhavan and Indian parliament.How ironical?it is.What is the reason behind increasing number of such atrocious terrorist attacks in our country in the recent years?Our Home minister Shivraj Patil says stringent punishment would be given to those responsible for it.But i wonder whether we have such stringent laws!!!Under Article 355 of the Indian Constitution,its the duty of the Union to protect States against external aggression and internal disturbance.Furthermore, the bedrock on which the edifice of any criminal justice system rests lies in the protection of the rights of the innocent and thereby punishing the guilty.In my opinion there are not many stringent laws to curb the terrorist activities.The Unlawful Activities Prevention Act 1967(UAPA) and Terrorist and Disruptive Activities Prevention Act 1987 (TADA) are the two acts that deals with Anti-terrorism in our country.But i feel they have become outdated,Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act (POTA) was an anti-terrorism legislation enacted by our parliament in 2002,it was indeed effective to an large extent.Unfortunately it was repealed by UPA in 2004.I still don't understand why our government has become soft on terrorists.Recently our railway minister Lallu ji was against banning SIMI.I still wonder was it one of his usual jokes?Now Indian Mujahideen has taken responsibility for the Delhi Blasts(It is suspected that SIMI is now operating under this mane).M.K.Narayanan,NSA said he already warned the centre about further attacks in many states.If that is the case what has the government done after his report?What are they concerned about when many innocents life is at stake?The forth coming polls?When the whole nation is witnessing brutal terrorist activities why is the government still hesitant to approve Gujarat's Anti-terror law?Why is all politicians playing the blame game over such attacks?I feel,on terrorism,the country's voice should be united,especially the stand of all politicians irrespective of their ideologies.Most of these terrorist acts are done in the holy name of ALLAH and ISLAM,defaming the God and the Religion,because of few weeds the entire community is looked by other community people as breeders of terrorism.It'll take ages to shed out such image.How pathetic!!!Till the government understands the real gravity of the situation,its up to we the citizens of India to act vigilantly.Lets hope this face of terror would soon be curbed.Finally I'm not in favour of any government.I'm against terrorism.I'm diplomatic in my views when it comes to politics & politicians.

The security and safety of Indians have indeed been long forgotten by the politicians. The light on the handful number of legal acts unequalled by the amount of terrorism in the country, for a person with zero intelligence in justice system, was very enlightening.. Your vehement patriotism is heartening..keep going!
one of the few Unbiased articles I've read, on terrorism!!!
