National humiliation---UPA Politicians are the biggest terrorists

This is an article in TOI.You can imagine that if EVEN TOI has allowed such articles to be published, the matter must be serious. I have yet to hear any protest or condemnation from UPA allies like Laloo, Amarsing,Mayawati and Paswan. More such incidents cannot be ruled out.In fact they can be expected at frequent intervals. Hope our Government wakes up to the PAKI threat--covert and overt.

TIMES OF INDIA PAGE 14 SUNDAY, 30 November, 2008, 3:56 PM
The Gangster 30 Nov 2008, 0000 hrs IST, S Balakrishnan, TNN

Mumbai is enraged and the anger is intermixed with grief. More than the slaughter of hundreds of innocents, people are fuming about the government's failure to demonstrate that it means business.

Mumbai was ravaged by serial blasts in March 1993, killing a couple of hundred people, injuring many more and destroying properties worth a few thousand crores. At the time, it was considered the worst urban terrorist attack anywhere in the world. At the time, Mumbaikers hoped that the government would put in place a mechanism to prevent a recurrence of the tragedy.

But November 26, 2008, has proved the paucity of that hope. Mumbaikars now know their government has done nothing at all to protect the country's financial capital. The terrorists, suspected Al Qaeda operatives, simply sailed into the city, off its busy coastline and struck with deadly force and audacity. A senior intelligence officer says, "Imagine if they had entered the BARC nuclear complex, which is also situated on the coast and captured it? The whole nation would have been held hostage. Coastal security is non-existent."

The Intelligence Bureau (IB) has sent a detailed dossier about the activities of one Mohammed Ali, who is the uncrowned king of the docks. A close aide of Karachi-based terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, Ali smuggles petrol, diesel, drugs, arms and other contraband with impunity. "If anyone wants to ship out anything or get in anything into the city, all he needs to do is strike a deal with Ali," confesses an exporter ruefully. There are strong indications that the D-gang actively collaborated with the terrorists in these attacks. And yet, the government is
reluctant to move against Ali and his gang because he enjoys the patronage of a powerful politician, known to be a business partner of Dawood.

Any terror operation needs vast funds, via the hawala route. But the authorities are still to crack down on hawala operators. Recently, they picked up Hasan Ali, a racehorse owner in Pune.

A joint probe by the IB, enforcement directorate (ED) and directorate of revenue intelligence revealed that Hasan Ali had handled hawala transactions worth a whopping Rs 35,000 crore, much of it belonging to two Maharashtra politicians. His laptop revealed details of vast amounts stashed away in Swiss bank accounts.

Hasan Ali was called into the ED's office a couple of times for questioning, but mysteriously, he was subsequently allowed to leave. Now, he has simply vanished. As have his wife and brother-in-law. The authorities were reportedly asked to go slow on Hasan Ali. "I will not be surprised if Hasan Ali has been done away with. He is the man who knows too much," says a police officer.

Inspector Vijay Salaskar, who died fighting the terrorists, had closely investigated the entrenched links between a prominent gutka manufacturer and the Dawood gang. He had unearthed a mass of evidence about the manufacturer's visit to Dubai, where he met Hamid Antulay, a nephew of
Dawood, and then went on a false Pakistani passport to Karachi where he met the don and his brother Anees. The purpose of the visit was to settle a business dispute with a rival.

Salaskar found out that the manufacturer was Dawood's partner in the gutka business, alongside a leading politician who dabbles in real estate development. Despite Salaskar's best efforts, he was never allowed even to summon the manufacturer for questioning. In stark contrast, diamond merchant and film producer Bharat Shah was interred for over a year all because he spoke for two minutes to Chhota Shakeel, a Dawood aide.

The details of Dawood's vast business transactions and the man fronting it are available with the Central government. But there is inaction. Is it any wonder the security agencies are deeply cynical about enforcing law and order and protecting the country? Is it any wonder the people are enraged? "We are worse than a banana republic,"

___________________________________________________________


It acknowledges the failure of the of the system and how they took advantage of it. The Governments will have to work out the details and tighten up all of the security in the future to protect the common public from the internal and external enemies.

Freddie.

Many a times I started to put down my thoughts, then stopped short of hitting the submit button for the simple reason that most of it might have been against forum rules here. Now that I am a bit calmed off, I think I can write something within the rules.

When it started at CST, my cousin who usually takes the rail route was outside and no one had any contact for a few hours! Anyways all from the family are safe. The rumor from them was that a team of police had gone in for negotiations, but were shot - never saw any news paper report on it; but they still say that is what happened initially before the NSG was called in.

India had some 7-8 round of attacks this year alone, but what is the outcome? Some statements, threats to Pak, cries, and then move on to the next Cricket series. Seriously, is anything going to change at all? At the best, may be next time I fly from Mumbai, my luggage will be searched 10 times instead of the current 5.

Looking at the leading political parties, one had the rep visiting the sites when the shooting was on to get some political mileage, another had the rep enjoying a marriage party thru the night (must have heard the news by then for sure) and another's rep makes stupid remarks about the slain commando's family! That is the same group who passed resolutions in support of a terrrorist - Madani (??). What can be really expected from these parties. They don't even want to handle the stuff together because of upcoming elections.

Looking at the police or bureaucratic officers, anyone who lived in India knows the amount of corruption. Does it even make sense to think that they are going to change over night to prevent these kind of stuff? Even while watching the live video, you can easily see many in the police "force" (not Army or NSG) participating as if they are seeing something mundane. It seemed more like a tamasha for them. Where is the professionalism gone?

Actually that is what the whole thing is - just a tamasha - for many. Only time even any air of decisive action came was when the Parliment itself was attacked - may be the politicians feared for their own lives then - and the guy responsible for that is yet to be hanged!!!

Many talk that attacking Pak is the solution. How is that a solution for anything? With all the US military might, they haven't really achieved anything in Iraq or Afghan. How can India really get Pak under control? Forget Pak, with this kind of political leadership, can Army get Kashmir itself under total control? I think No. Best option for us is to shun the bad power wielders and get good leaders, police and bureaucracy in place - that itself will make these kinds of attacks tough to achieve. India need to work with the good elements in Pak to get rid of the jihadi's. But any of these going to happen? I wish they will, but even in my most optimistic self, I don't think it will. The eye washing has already started - ministers being changed, a new police force under a new name, may be few new laws - then what? Only thing I see happening is new and new 'Lt Col Purohit's and 'Abhinav Bharat's coming up. Is that good? Don't think so.

It is a shame that a country which got independence by non-violence can't even control violence! Like I said, next time I fly out of Mumbai, my luggage will be searched 10 times instead of the 5. That's pretty much what is going to happen.

Let's try kicking him in the b**ls with steel capped boots, for a start...

and repeat every so often for good measure.

and then let's do it again and again just to make sure that everything is just so.
