No matter what your religious background or political affiliation, we can all agree that this is a moment of crisis for this country. I spoke with relatives & Friends over the weekend (Hindus & Muslims) & the response was unanimous. This makes absolutely no sense and no matter what ones grievances are, this is not the way to send out a message. This is an act of cowards and must be punished.
There are a lot of emotions in play. But to solve these challenges, we need to be strategic and co-operative. This is not the time to score political points. It is the need of the hour that the state governments receive intelligence help from the center. It should not matter if this is a BJP government or a Congress. If we start thinking in those directions, we are handing over victory to the terrorist
The terrorists need to realize that an attack on an Indian citizen is like an attack on India. And they better be careful and cognizant of what they wish for.
Fighting terrorism requires intelligence gathering. And intelligence gathering can never be done by force. We need support of the masses. We need their eyes, ears and all other senses. We also need counter-terrorism training at state levels.
Think of what the terrorist want? They want a civil war in India. I do not claim to know who these people are, but I sure can figure out their intentions. And the best way to defeat them is to show unity and solidarity in this moment of crisis.
