If you're straight reading this "Part 2" then i suggest you read the 1st part. Both these parts are actually the views that i've expressed on a community on orkut. But, nevertheless, these views are my views. They're the views that i feel i have the right to express, a right that the Constitution gives me, unhindered by any other citizen of this great country.
the actual post that i posted on orkut starts from here....
"to my mind the congress lacks the political will to really investigate these terror attacks or any terror attacks for that matter.
all that the congress does is minority appeasement. the congress lacks the political ability and worse yet, the will, to fight terrorism. repealing POTA was the first of its acts to concede to terrorism. then, again, failing to execute mohd afzal, or rather leading the way in his clemency appeal was the next sign of not wanting to let go of its minority appeasement tactics. (the Honourable SC found him guilty and had ordered for his execution.)
but, then, having said that, how many can really find faults with these tactics.
when sanju baba was sentenced to 6yrs of RI, many of his "fans" said it was too harsh...the man had done his time..and all the usual melodramatic crap....but i'm sorry...wasn't this man in possession of AK-47 rifles that were used by the terrorists. How ironic, or rather unforgivably fitting (not for a second do i not sympathise with the victims of, or feel aggrieved by, the acts of last night) , that yesterday night, the terrorists used the same AK-47 rifles to unleash terror?!
When, scores of (young) men and women------fans as they call themselves, of this movie-"star" and some ppl who all of a sudden changed their lives to lead the peaceful, non-violent, all forgiving life, wrote into countless newspapers as to why sanju baba had to be forgiven-----they lost the right, in my mind, to the find faults with the system collapse that took place last night.
By literally propagating his freedom by referring to the "changed man", these ppl have sown the seeds for the posterity to suffer from. As a nation, we have time and again failed to have a general sense of natural justice prevail over us. We pardon the jehadis (afzal), we free our "stars" (sanju baba), we neglect our real problems, instead focus on the non-issues really..and we're the educated ones, not the jst literate ones, mind u!
what good is education, where the will to learn and evolve is lost?we applaud the man who changed Indian Railways in 4yrs..invite him to our IIMs (of all places) to deliver lectures, yet so easily forget the involvement of the same man in a fodder-scam...yet forget how after yrs of being the incumbent of the post of CM, Bihar still remains an under-developed state. dont we then for a second wonder, how could this man really pull it off? shudn't we?
how many of our leaders are really and truly worthy of representing us in the House...let alone, how many of them face charges and etc etc...
ive seen many ppl in this community support the MNS and sighting reasons that are at best childish...with an attitude like this, how far can we really go? how can we really be secure? if all we desire is to fight the bhaiyyas and the non-mumbaikars (so to call them), why will our elected representatives bother doing anymore?
we take pride in being the voters of the largest democracy in the world...but then, well, how many virtues of democracy have we really got imbibed in us? to start with, have we (got) tolerance? and, i guess, it jst ends there, right there!
many ppl oppose capital punishments.....many ppl who say that the afzals have children, well, what bout the ones who died? these terrorists, if caught, shud be most definitely hanged. if they're not, may be months frm now, u cud have a plane hijack with a demand for release of the same terrorists!
u know, its really surprising that for an educated bunch like ourselves, its really that god-damn difficult to learn from the past, ignore divisive politics, look beyond religion, colour, caste and focus on delivering justice to the aggrieved."
