NEWS – GOOD, BAD & SAD
There are
always a few news that are heartening and invigorating. There are also always a
lot of news which are depressing and demoralizing. Some news are – just not
worth reading. Here are the Good, Bad and the Sad
1. Excellent :TN EXTREMISTS WANTED
FOR BID ON ADVANI HELD IN AP AFTER 10 HOUR OPERATIONS:-Puttur in southern AP
was famous for ancient bone jointing methods. Even now, many people believe in
the efficiency of these traditional Bone Jointers of Puttur. But, the proximity
of Puttur to Tamilnadu makes it an ideal place for any terrorists to commit
their heinous ACTS and flee easily outside Tamilnadu. The same thing
happened yesterday, when TN Police got info
about the Terrorists hiding in Puttur. These Terrorists are wanted in case of
attacks on several Hindu leaders, including Advani. The terrorists are posing
as scrap dealers in Puttur. 3 Terrorists, Fakruddin,32, Bilal Malik,25, Panna
Ismail,36 are arrested after a Huge operation involving the TN Police – helped by
AP Govt. It is understood from News Reports that Islamic Terrorists Groups were
regrouping and planning attacks on public figures and probably a temple as
well. The terrorists at Puttur had fire arms and fought a gun battle also before surrendering. They also used women and
children as a shield against Police. Even
now, their family members, including mother, don’t believe that they can be
terrorists. That shows, how Islamic terrorist groups operate – even without
knowledge of their family members. In many earlier cases, a few were caught but
were released for want of conclusive evidence. This is the problem with Terrorism
and terrorists. If India wants to deal with Terrorism effectively, we need
special Laws – and not ordinary laws and ordinary Court Processes. There will
never be the so called CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE against terrorist attacks. Pakistan
is hiding behind this spacious plea even in respect of the Mumbai Blasts. But,
India can’t afford to have such archaic, ineffective, Laws, which endanger
India from the terrorists. I therefore suggest the following methods to deal
with terrorists :
(a)
First and Foremost, we need an All
India based ANTI-TERRORIST SQUAD, NOT TAKING ORDERS FROM Political bosses, but
acting Independently and reporting cases and actions taken, to Parliament through
an Authority like Lok Pal, a judicial or quasi Judicial authority constituted
for the purpose. If some Political boss is giving orders, like – deal with
Muslim terrorists softly, differently etc – we can never, ever tackle terrorism
on Indian Soil. There should be an unbiased, impartial Authority to deal with
terrorism, but, they should be allowed to deal with terrorism strongly and
independently.
(b)
There shall be no question of the
Political Authority questioning them on their day-to-day operations like
encounters, operations, killing on the spot, engaging in chase and catch,
proactive operations and so on. The Lok Pal like Authority shall however report
the progress of anti terrorist operations to a Joint committee of the
Parliament , on monthly basis, and Parliament shall have authority to debate on
the reports and give any guidelines for future operations as they may deem fit,
without compromising on the Independence of the Anti Terrorist Squads.
(c)
The Squads shall have all Powers for
Pro-active, preventive operations, including , where necessary, ENCOUNTERS, of terrorists. There shall be no authority for
any other authority like, say, CBI, for questioning their operations. It shall
be the exclusive domain of the Lok Pal like authority constituted for the
purpose. Parliament can, however, review the operations and suggest any guidelines
for future.
(d)
Terrorism shall preferably include the
Mafia operating in Mumbai and elsewhere, Sand/coal/Iron ore mining Mafias in different states – and any
other Mafias who terrorize General Public and regularly indulge in anti social,
illegal operations of any kind. Even today, two persons were murdered for
reporting about illegal sand mining. This is nothing but TERRORISM. Cases of People
who are regularly involved in abducting women and children and carrying out trafficking
in women and children must also come under Terrorism. These are all cases where
the ordinary Police are a TOTAL FAILURE in almost every state.
(e)
But, Naxalism needs another specialist
devoted group – with complete freedom of Action to root out Naxalism from the
country. Naxalism for this purpose shall also include the terrorist Groups in
the North east and other states as well.
(f)
These are my views. Of course, some
Politicians won’t agree. Did they agree easily for barring criminal Politicians
from Parliament and state legislatures? No. Did they implement Lok Pal Bill?
No. As Lalu told on one occasion, why will they approve of a Lok Pal, which is
dangerous for themselves!
(g)
But, Country and people must rise above
Politicians and insist on such Independent Anti-Terrorist operations. India
must become a country where the ordinary citizen is not only Law abiding but is also fearless in his Lawful conduct.
