An eye for an eye, but Arjun is losing his sight

The national capital rocks again, the explosion that comes a fortnight after serial blasts, took place in South Delhi’s Mehrauli market area today afternoon. Like they warned “before the dust settles…”

Kolkata police took pride in finding a bag that shouts in BOLD letters “Explosives”. Delhi police went in casual outfits for one of the biggest terror encounters - The Shootout at Balta House. Following few days were like as if they were waiting for Delhi blasts to happen to catch terrorists “Thok Ke Bhav Mein” someone defined. At the wake of nation’s bitterness and frustration towards the Home Minister can get us terrorists-after-terrorists being held in Jamia Nagar, Azamgarh, Mumbai… Yet, they are successful in not letting the dust settled. Which is why, perhaps, Rahul Gandhi termed POTA a “useless” law. True and not just POTA, any law is toothless for the police and the govt we have.

Surprisingly only a tabloid asked why the police went to Batla House encounter sans their terror-gears. How the two other ‘suspected’ terrorists fled so easily from 4th floor without any injuries? Why didn’t police let the media enter the house for hours after the encounter? The one answer for everything: We lost an eligible police officer in the encounter.

Is the govt caught between vote-bank politics and hopeless governance? While the Home Minister (in his own capacity) is trying to review Delhi’s security; Arjun Singh backs Jamia Milia Islamia University’s decision to support Delhi blasts’ accused. Is the so-called secular government is giving rise to terrorism… Don’t question them ’cos there’s no law, there’s only encounter. The govt gets the benefit of doubt, we die in blasts…
