Mumbai Attack:Top 6 things India should do Now

1. Hang Mohammed Afzal Guru immediately. The Supreme Court of India has already found him guilty of conspiracy and planning a terror attack on the Parliament of the biggest democracy of world (2001 Parliament attack). The Supreme court has also upheld the death sentence on him. It is a big a insult to the Apex court of India by the Political system.

If a Hemant Karkare,a Sanip Unnikrishnan and a Gajendra Singh can give their life to save India from Terror, a Sarabjit can also give his life for Mother India ( with all regards to Sarabjit if his life comes at the cost of Afzal Guru, he (Sarabjit) himself would not like to live such a life )

2. Indian and US Government should put pressure on Pakistani Government to extradite Dawood Ibrahim and Omar Saeed Sheikh to India and US. Dawood Ibrahim is the underworld don and the terrorist responsible for Mumbai serial blast in 1993 which killed 258 people and is also believed to be one of the key people behind recent Mumbai Attacks. Omar Saeed Sheikh is the key accused in the Daniel Pearl case. Both of them are holed up in Pakistan under ISI Protection.

3. Indian,US and UK air forces should join hands together to attack the Western border and Pak Occupied Kashmir (POK) portions of Pakistan to wipe off all the terror camps of al-Qaeda and LeT. Pakistanti civilian government, in spite of declaring that they too want to fight terror, have not been able to wipe off the terror camps from their land. This clearly indicates that either the civilian Government in Pakistan has no control over their security establishments and their spy outfit (ISI) or their promise to eradicate terror camps from their land is a fake promise.

In any case, the forces outside should take command to wipe off these camps from Pakistan. If Pakistani Government is ready to offer support in this operation, they are most welcome.

4. Setup special courts in all the states to speeden up the process to closes terror cases. There should be stringent terror rules. The prosecution and implementation of judiciary's decission should be faster for these cases without much interferece from Political parties.

5. Setup control rooms in whole of western coastal boarder with hightech unmanned machines monitoring the entire coastal area from Porbandar in Gujrat to Kanyakumari. We, as a nation, lost 4000 Crores because of the recent Attack. The Indian Government should understand that spending half of this money(2000 Crore) for setting up control rooms in the entire coastal area would ensure that we donot face a similar incident again and loose another 4000 Crore.

6. No more further talks on J&K issue with Pakistan or any other third party. J&K is an integral part of Indian and will remain so. This message should go clear and loud to the International audience and any further disruption in J&K area should be handled strictly.
The likes of Farooq Abdullah should be given a choice to either be with Indian Government or goto Islamabad and join PPP for his political career.

Is Dawood Ibrahim behind Mumbai Attack?

The investigations which have taken place so far reveals that India's Most Wanted Terrorist Dawood Ibrahim, who has also been declared the key behind the 1993 Mumbai blast and wanted by Indian authority, is man behind Mumbai Terror attack. Dawood Ibrahim is wanted by Indian Goverment and is currently staying in Karachi, Pakistan.

A Colaba-based businessman, suspected to be henchman of underworld don Dawood Ibrahim, handed over arms and explosives to the Lashkar e Tayiba terrorists for carrying out the attacks on Mumbai, in what is emerging as the first major joint operation by the Karachi-based gangster and the banned outfit, official sources said in Mumbai.

Ajmal Amin, the only terrorist arrested during the operation, told interrogators that the dozen ultras who sailed from Karachi had come to Sassoon Dock from where they were taken first to Cuff Parade and later to the Gateway of India in boats arranged by a frontman of Dawood, who runs several custom clearing houses in Mumbai, the sources claimed.

The Mumbai police and central security agencies have launched a massive manhunt for the businessman considered to be a henchman of Dawood, who has been listed as a global terrorist having links to the Al Qaeda by the United States.

The suspect looks after some customs clearing mechanism and also indulges in diesel smuggling for the underworld don, the sources claimed.

After getting into waiting boats arranged by Dawood's gang in Mumbai, arms, ammunition and plastic explosives were quickly transferred to the waiting boats that took the terrorists to the Gateway of India which was had been marked as the launching pad for the terror strike, the first of its kind in the country's terrorism history.It is in India's National interest to put Pressure on Pakistani Government to extradite Dawood as soon as possible.

An Indian from Bihar Regiment sacrifices for Thackrey's Mumbai

While the official death toll has reached 195 and we are still counting the people, Indians and Foreign Nationals, who have lost their lives in this tragic incident, my heart goes out to all those brave people who sacrificed their lives(on Duty) for their Mother India.

In addition to all the hostages and other innocent people who became victim of cruel firing of the Karanchi based (it's almost confirmed that most of terrorist came from Karanchi,Pakistan via sea to Mumbai) angels of God who are also enemies of Human kind, we have atleast half a dozen brave heros who sacrificed their lives for the Nation while fighting the terrorist.

A Mumbai, which beloged to Maharashtra Navnirman Sena (MNS) and their leader Raj Thakrey a few days back, where the people from other Indian states speacially from North India were not welcome, was saved by people from out side Maharashtra by taking a bullet at their chest and while this was happening all the MNS activist including their head Raj Thakrey was watching all this in TV at the comfort of their bed rooms.

As per reports so far, the two NSG commandos who sacrificed their life for saving Raj Takrey's Mumbai are Bihar Regiment's, Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan and another North Indian hawaldar Gajendra Singh hailing from Uttranchal.

I wish, the so called soldiers of Maharashtra's development (MNS) would atleast come out to give a shoulder to the NSG commandos who fought a 50+ hours continous gun battle to ensure mother land of marathi manoos is saved.

Do I hear you saying that "Mumbai is an integral part of India and it's very much the responsibility of every Indian to save the soil of India", NOW? I would love to hear you say that even after this storm is over.

Mumbai: Terror attacks in India

It was a horrible morning today. When you start the day with a shocking news like "terrorist attack in Mumabi", it has to be a horrible morning. Inspite of being 1000+ km away from Mumbai and hardly knowing anyone who got affected by this massacre, it was shocking to hear that a secular country like India which has a history to absorb and give respect to all the people who come from outside, is being attacked.

It's shocking that a religion which is at-least 1300 plus year old and has a rich heritage is going down in drains rather than evolving and growing. The common man whether in India or in Western countries is at the receiving end for no fault because of extremist thinking of a group of people.

I hate this fear. I feel I am not safe in any corner of the world. What mistake I did, I really don't know. I want to live and let others live happily. Is it too much to ask for? Do I need to part of any religion to understand such a basic need of human kind that everyone want to live and let other live happily?

It's so difficult to understand that a religion can push you to destroy the human race. A philosophy or thinking can not be termed as religion if it motivates you to do a massacre like this or works as a catalyst to provoke you to remove the man kind.

Those who does advocacy of the religion when the religion is termed as a "Terror Religion" should stand up and take the responsibility of such gruesome attack on man-kind and if they cannot do anything to stop this, they should keep silent when people say that one of the religion of this world is a "Terror Religion".

May the soul of all the people who died in Mumbai yesterday rest in piece.
