terrorism

These days the hot topic of discussion across all sections of the society is terrorism and ways & means to tackle that. The govt is spending a lot of the Tax payer’s money to develop anti terrorism squads to tackle this menace. But inadvertently there is a steady addition to the band of people who want to indulge in this kind of unlawful activity. This is due to the cavalier attitude of the government and civil society towards unlawful activities and general break down of our criminal justice system in bringing to book people indulging in unlawful activities. Witness the government’s reaction (or rather lack of it) in dealing with the agitations being carried out by the MNS in the last couple of years and by the shivsena now. Spare a thought for the families of the innocent people who may have lost their lives and livelihood in all these opportunistic agitations. Remember No Thackeray has ever led any agitation on the street so they are never hurt and never loose anything because they do not have to work for a living. They just reap the benefits out of the common man's miseries. Search the dictionaries for a right word for this kind of organisms. And when the law cannot provide security to law abiding citizens don't be surprised if some of them decide to take law into their own hands. This is at the root of the all the insurgency and terrorist activity that we see around the country.

So spare a thought the next time we see some of our dear leaders egg on their supporters to launch another agitation. Think and Decide as to who pays the Price for it.
