Terror Groups...............!!!

When terror gives notice, how should India react? ...................In India, secularism is interpreted as tolerance towards Islamic extremism. No other country, including Islamic states, has such a weak response to violence by extremists. The terrorists know that they can manipulate politicians whose only concern is electoral victory. We need not be surprised if the so-called "secularists" make a deal with the terrorists for winning elections.The Supreme Court's decision to put a stay on the special tribunal order lifting restrictions on Simi has come as a relief.Simi's track record in terms of confessions by its arrested activists in the past as to what their long term plans were, intercepted communication messages, the propaganda material in their computers, the documents as well as the arms and ammunition seized from the activists' hideouts from time to time, provide enough proof to sustain the ban.Unfortunately, in India we talk a lot about policies and strategies but fail when it comes to taking action. In the prevailing confusion and lack of a coherent strategy on terror — both by the Centre and the state — terrorism goes on unabated.

In addition to terrorism, we seem to have become complacent about other big threats, like Naxalism, which is spreading its tentacles. All political parties should rise above petty politics and jointly address the growing menace of terrorism and hate-mongering.

We want effective action in areas such as price rise, terrorism, healthcare, education, drinking water and employment.What is needed is the same zeal on the part of the government in seeking cooperation as it demonstrated in favour of the nuclear deal.

Plz start thinking above the Vote Politics or else It won't take much before India turns into another Russia.
