…it's time to have strong federal laws to avoid any future mayhem
The week which was shadowed by the news of an impending 9/11 type attack on Indian skies by the jihadi elements across the border and a crucial meeting of the Indian Home Minister in Raipur to fine tune the nitty gritties of Operation Green Hunt against Maoists, two related incidents require special attention. The first is the candid confession of the Pakistani Prime Minister Yusuf Raza Gilani (to the visiting US Defense Secretary Robert Gates) that his country is not in a position to guarantee that there would be no repeat of 26/11 type attack on Indian soil. The second incident is with respect to the ‘soft approach’ of Jharkhand Chief Minister Shibu Soren towards the Maoists at a time when the whole country is bracing up for an all out assault on this menace.
While Gilani might be right in his honest and candid acknowledgement of the failure of the Pakistani establishment to contain the ever growing fangs of the jihadis and while it might also be true that Pakistan itself has been reeling under a series of such attacks, the question that remains unanswered is whether India should continue to remain a sitting duck and pay for the inability of Pakistan to contain such so called non-state (but incubated by the state) actors. If Pakistan cannot contain them, then shouldn’t India have the right to get inside the Pakistan and neutralise the rogue elements hatching the plot of the next mayhem? If Pakistan feigns being a victim of the same terrorism that has been tormenting India for long, then shouldn’t it allow Indian armed forces to fight alongside the Pakistani forces against the rogue elements? Well, someone should have asked this question to Gilani and the rabbit would have instantly come out of the hat. The world has been a witness to the bogus trial of the chief of LeT, Hafiz Sayeed in Pakistan and how he has been getting clean chits in spite of the clear writing on the wall of his involvement in 26/11. No prize for guessing what US would have done if 26/11 had happened there.
