If there are no conclusive evidences on Mumbai blasts then people (meaning police and investigating government officials) should keep shut. We common people in this country are not here to listen to nonsense in the name of speculations and allegations. We want to see how much competent you are. Tell me why CCTV never installed in railway stations or for that matter in public places wherein people gather??. They recently inaugurated Metro trains in capital city Delhi with big fanfare, does security concern not part of the constructions, these cameras cost one millionth of the cost involved but since it is common people who die they are not bothered. Even though they had clear intelligence input on terrorist attack they didn’t take much precaution. In London blasts CCTV played a major role. I am sure the security agencies were aware of these but they found no reason to strengthen safety measure here. Very competent indeed. Mumbai local train and commuters were sitting duck. Now they are busy conducting raids…..no comments. But if they find nothing I will surely comment. Giving sleepless night to people for one’s own incompetence is not investigation nor delaying flights and trains as a reason for heightened security. One TV channel showed how easy it is to get into metro trains without any checks. Who is responsible for these lapses??. And now they are leaking through media about investigating phone calls to Pakistan made minutes before the blasts- it seems they have narrowed some 35 calls, one even made 30secs after the blasts. Wow. Then they say it is SIMI (where is the evidence?. If no evidence then it is a cheap act, a mischief). Then a politician with an eye on forthcoming election and his ‘Muslim vote bank’ comes out and says it is not true (how does he know it is not true??. The investigation is not complete yet!!). It has become a game for political elite. How great!!. Action need be taken on the officials who ‘leak’ such information. By revealing procedure used on investigation you cannot blame a set of people or a country. They are attempting to orient what they ‘feel’ is the truth or lets say what some people want to be true. Unfortunately ‘feeling’ have no significance here we need facts and evidences. That comes through meticulous investigations. One TV channel even has ‘exclusive revelations’ by ‘high government official’ on involvement of Pakistan!!. Such mischief. I think they have this mindset that people will take any nonsense….well some people may but the Courts don’t nor do international community. Come out say it in public with evidences if you dare.
Some fun from serious stuff (not undermining the tragedy though): Actually we should be grateful to these terrorists that they are not causing more devastation which they can easily do. When there was attack on USA in 9/11 the joke doing the round in India was that this can never happen in here since such meticulous planning doesn’t work as nothing runs on time here!!!. The terrorists will get so worked up waiting for the Train to come or flight to take off that they will suicide in frustration with appalling transportation system!!. But Mumbai locals are extremely efficient, the reason why such a dastardly act worked. I guess we can handle sometimes appalling transportation system (most trains do run on time these days) but what we cannot tolerate is incompetence, apathy of security agencies and their lackadaisical understanding of measures to be taken in crowded and vulnerable places. I am told Union Home Ministry is also into deciding who to be given Padma awards!!!. So dude who is to get Padma bhushan this year!!. There are too many people squatting around the power centers. How about our Joker??!!. It takes lots of courage running from one TV studio to another!!!!. Geeeeeez. Give us a break some one
