Friends,

I thought I would have an analysis of the most dreaded terror attack on Mumbai on 26/11/2008 and 26/11/2009 which is exactly one year after the attacks(the first anniversary of attacks).

26/11/2009

Not need to say much on this day as we had witnessed and some had undergone the trauma associated with the attacks. Every Indian was hurt on that day and people’s anguish spreaded on to the streets. But I wish to take a much closer look on the D-Day one year later.

26/11/2009

I could see all the wrong things unfolding on that day which made me think ‘what is gonna change in this country where the citizens are back to ‘adjustment behaviour’ on the day when the country was remembering the dreaded 26/11. I am pointing out them in points.

1. Our Home Minister Mr. P. Chidambaram had set NIA(NATIONAL INVESTIGATIVE AGENCY) and also did much on coordination of the internal and external intelligence agencies. But who brought Headly and Rana to the cover, FBI. What would have happened if they were not caught, cwould have come here and made merry.

2. Maharashtra Government unveilded FORCE ONE COMMANDO doing pertaining skills on the marine drive to assure of Mumbai’s preparedness; but, FORCE ONE COMMANDO even do not have separate land for them and they use Mumbai police’s weapons.

3. The centre had promised of MP5 weapons to the Mumbai Police, but they haven’t arrived.

4. Steps were taken to strengthen the coastal region. But the Gujarat coastline through which the perpetrators came is still porous and do not have enough equipment for monitoring purpose. The longest coastline has just 9 costal police stations with speed boats and wireless sets but no GPS. remember our attackers had GPS systems with them. Just think about other states !!!

5. When the whole nation should show their solidarity, S S Ahluwalia of the BJP made bizarre comments on the role of the media during the attacks.

6. The Parliament should have atleast united on this issue. When Mr. L K Advani made notions about compensations of the affected, Mr. Pranab Mukherjee politicised it. Is this the way to behave on a national issue ?

7. I cannot believe that Leopold Cafe was having a rock concert when they should be actually showing solidarity to the people coming there. Is this the way to remember the nation’s deadliest terror attack ?

8. Recently, I saw the police men and the navy officers hang up their wet clothes on wires put up on THE GATEWAY of INDIA. Such a ridiculous situation!!!

9. Still India is not able to bring the perpetrators in front of justice. Hafiz Sayeed is at large and Pakistanis consider him as a great person who voluntereed for the earth quakes. Kasab is the most secure and protected person in the country(but the citizens are still vulnerable) spending upto 31 crore in the last 12 months.

10. People were pouring on to the streets to show their solidarity. But is this enough ? We should be actually accounting the politicians for their acts and demand swift actions on strenghtening ou internal and external security because these things would last and ensure our security; but, the things like showing solidarity would not last long as who would remember this day even one year later. I think I am doing my bit by writing this and awakening you guys(I definately know that this is not enough….)

What do you guys think about this ? Have we learned our lesson and if not when will we ?

comments are welcome…
