Blast in Samjhauta Express
by Rajagopal Harihara on Feb 20, 2007 11:51 AM

Isn't it time we bring back POTA which helped our security people to nab prospective culprits and their helpers.

In the absence of such law our security always have to go after the bombers after they have caused great loss of live and damage to property.

The UPA Government has utterly failed to protect the lives and property of common people who pay heavy taxes. In their eagerness to placate the minorities and to preserve their vote bank they have repealed POTA as soon as they came to power.

If in this case, either the PM or any VVIP were to travel, would they have allowed the bomber to go near the train?. They would have sanitized the entire train and all stations enroute. Also, they would have posted security men every 10 meters all the way till the destination. Because the life of a VVIP or VIP is precious. Whereas, the lives of common people are of no concern for those in power. Compensation of few lakhs of rupees can never replace the loss of near and dear ones.

Sine the time UPA came to power in May 2004, there have been number of Bomb attacks and hundreds of lives and crores of Rupees worth of property has been lost. With this track record the UPA Government at the Center is a fit case for President's rule, not UP.
