Was it right and decent of Mr Shakeel Ahmed,on newsx, to give stastics of terror attacks during NDA rule? He is a Minister and spokesman of Congress. I don't think PM or Sonia Gandhi should tolerate such nonsense from their Ministers.
Why talk of Police reforms today? Has it not been long over-due.?
Do we really expect the Police to fight terror with Lathi?Terrorists have sattelite phones.Why is it taking ages to provide latest equipment to the police?
One sees heavily armed police guarding the VIPs..Why can't the common man be protected by police with better equipment? Isn't the life of common man of any value?

How will the country face rest of the world with silly excuses?

Don't we believe that the world is laughing at us?
How did the USA protect itself and it's people after 9/11?
Why can't we learn from them?
Why can't we take a hard stand even at the cost of losing power?

Will any leader of today get place in the history?Sorry,no, it is the names of the NSG and ATS officers who will.
World newspapers have carried the terror story on front pages...can we defend ourselves in front of the world community? Can we ever say that we did our best?Will they trust us?
How long will we blame Pak ..... rightly so?How long will we have to bear with adventures of Pak?Why are we not able to take on Pak?Are we worried about international reaction? Did George Bush ask any one for the action he took?He may be unpopular,but isn't the average American safe?
Does an average Indian feel safe?

Time to repeat"kandhar to aap gaye the" is over.
Time to discuss statistics of terror UPA v/sNDA is over.
Time to appoint "my"recommendation is over.
