“...As I had expected, various politicians have tried to use this traumatic and tragic attack to their advantage. I only hope that people see through them this time.
Quite clearly, both the major political parties have failed to tackle terrorism. There have been repeated attacks on us during both their reigns which neither has been able to either anticipate or deal with well... They actually NEGOTIATED with the terrorists and RELEASED 3 dreaded terrorists from Indian jails... I think the first lesson to learn from this is that we MUST NOT NEGOTIATE... What that means is, that in the future if there is a situation where me or my kids are held hostage by a bunch of terrorists then I must be prepared to tell our government – to hell with me and my children just go in there and kill the terrorists...
I personally hold both these political parties, and in fact other regional political parties across the country, responsible in one way or the other, for fueling terrorism in the first place... The other important thing we need to remind ourselves in this time of anger and hurt is to stay calm... and not give in to thoughtless knee jerk reactions. I heard someone say on television that we should all stop paying our taxes as a show of protest. Haven’t heard of a more silly idea than that. If we stop paying our taxes then we won’t have an army and NSG to save us next time around!!! Instead we should all START PAYING OUR TAXES. We demand so much of our leaders but are we fulfilling our basic responsibility? Can we say with honesty that as citizens of our country we are all honestly paying our taxes?... If we are corrupt then how can we expect our politicians to be honest?... These politicians are not from Jupiter or Mars, they are one of us, from our very own society, selected by us through a democratic process...
In my opinion, you really want to change things? Change yourself... If each one of us does that individually then there will be a sea change in our society at large... What I would really like to see emerge from all this is the youth of this country starting a political party. A group that stands for strong, clean, honest and fresh leadership. A group that we can all support.
And finally, if we really want to make sure that terrorists fail in achieving their end, then these terror attacks should not take us towards hate but instead towards love... Allowing love, peace and trust to grow within us is not a sign of weakness but a sign of immense strength.
With appreciation and gratitude to the security forces who acted with courage, and with a prayer in my heart for those departed.
