Attacks at Taj
The city known for its nightlife, its spirit, its crowd!! The city of dreams… The city which is amongst the most populated cities of the world…. The commercial capital of India… Faced a major blow by terror activity. A open fire in various parts of south Mumbai Including CST Station, Vidhan Bhavan, Metro Cinema, Cama Hospital,etc. and not to mention the tragedy at Hotel Taj and Oberoi and residential apartment,Nariman House. This is considered to be the most cruel terror attack in India and is being compared to US’s 9-11 attack.
After 3 days of terror, when we lost 3 crucial senior officers from Mumbai Police Dept along with other courageous officers and militants. There was a political upside down era!! Which was quite expected from dirty politics in India. India’s Home minister had to resign, which also followed resignations of Maharashtra’s Home Minister, R.R. Patil and Chief Minister, Vilasrao Deshmukh. Naval Chief was fired from his position since the terrorists entered country limits trough the sea. Security measures across the country have seemed to be scaled up remarkably. This is not the case with Mumbai solely but security measures have also seen changing in neighbouring cities Thane and Pune. The official count of 10 given by police have been proved wrong when another bomb with 8 Kg. RDX was found at CST station on 3rd December eve. The media layed smart on the 3rd day of terror on request by officials by not telecasting the live telecast. The same was followed on the 3rd Dec. when media played smart by not creating panic among people by giving the news when the Bomb was found at CST. The only living terrorist who is in custody, named Kasab from Pakistan has revealed the whole plan and how they realized it all and the facts have been shocking.
Well what the politicians can do is just play dirty politics and its common man who suffers. The newly selected Cheif minister of Maharsahtra is Ashok Chavhan. The death of 3 important officers from Mumbai Police dept. Still remains a mystry, whether it was a coincidence or it was a well planned killing. Daud’s contribution to the attack has again bursted the anger against him. This time for a change India is playing a hard role against Pakistan by asking them to hand over the criminals who nest in Pakistan. Sources also say that both countries have moved the forces to the border and this could be a begining to yet another Indo-Pak war. But if it does strike…. it wont just stay an Indo-Pak war. Many other superpowers will jump in, the sight to see would be which ones decide to take a stand against terrorism.
Everyone, “including me” has a lot to say…. but words cannot explain all form of feelings…. I here by salute to the officers and militants who lost their lives to keep us safe. A special mention about Havaldaar Jayvant Patil who stays in my area and lost his life in this terror attack. Witnessing his antim yatra is inexpressible with mere words.
Jai Hind.
