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.
