Does every Indian accepted death as their birth right? Does every Indian known at least one person personally who is a blast victim – in Mumbai, Delhi, Assam, Hyderabad or somewhere…?
I am an average Indian… I think I am helpless, getting killed in a blasts is what I think before I step out, I’ve personally known some who are blasts victims and I live in an utopian world where I hope politics can be kept away from good governance.
Even as Amitabh Bachchan strongly condemns Sharmila Thackeray, wife of Marathi leader Raj Thackeray’s widely circulated SMS that read: All those who had lost their lives while saving this city are Marathis. MNS workers are busy donating blood, helping police for rescue operations and lifting bodies. Like a famous newsman wrote to Raj Thackeray in an open letter, there’s difference between fame and notoriety. There’s also a difference between loving your country, loving its people and playing nasty politics upon people’s misery – This is what the Thackerays are doing now.
Not just the Thackerays, even others are. Communist CM Achutanan’s frustrated comment on his inability to politicise Martyr Unnikrishnan’s Malayalee lineage was rather painful. The Kerala CM said: If it had not been (Major) Sandeep's house, not even a dog would have glanced that way. This is how our leaders treat our heroes, yet we continue to save our leaders lives with high category security extracted from our pockets.
Leaders like Amar Singh, who questioned the integrity of a police man who died in an encounter while nabbing terrorists responsible for Delhi serial blasts, gets Z-Plus category security cover. Z-plus security is provided by NSG `black cats' consisting of six personal security officers, two head constables, 12 constables, one escort and one pilot vehicle. Leaders like Ram Vilas Paswan who says we should be considerate towards Bangladeshi refugees, gets Z-Plus security cover too. In all the recent terror attacks in Delhi and Assam, Intelligence Agencies found Bangladeshi terror outfit Huji’s links. Huji mostly operate through the same Bangladeshi illegal immigrants in Assam. Can Paswan visit disturbed areas of Assam, or even the ‘undisturbed’ areas, just for an hour without his security cover?
But at the end of the day an average Indian accepts blasts as a small deal, because we have leaders like R R Patil, the just-out Deputy CM of Maharastra who said: small things like this do happen as his reaction to the recent Mumbai attacks.
