Why are indian cities such soft targets?
by Vipul Kulkarni on Jul 27, 2008 12:08 AM

The Indian intelligence bureau and the forces responsible for the internal security of the citizens have miserably failed in their duties. Of what use are these forces if none of them are able to protect their citizens which is their first and foremost responsibility. All governments have taken up economic reforms as the one and only priority in their agendas.The governments role has been reduced to being a dalal for the business interests within and outside the country. Where does protecting the citizens fall in their priority list.

Today after the blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad...all of us worried which city would be the next target, who amonngst us will be the next victim. We as citizens have lost our freedom, liberty and security...and are driven to live a life of fear.

Blaming the terrorists for these acts is a foolish and a cowardly response for these blasts. Each state has its enemies and there will be disgruntled elements hell bent on creating terror. The first and the foremost responsibility of any state is to protect its citizens from them.

Everytime there is an incident, the same lame excuse is repeated..."what can we do..these are all planned acts by a network of terrorists" What is IB doing...why are crores of taxpayers money being spent on something called R&AW, where is their accountability? Why dont we still have systems in place that can effectively neutralise and prevent these outfits. How come the such incidents dont happen so frequently in UK,
