There is no national consensus, even on issues of vital importance. Any issue is used as a political tool. We survive only because the majority mind their own business knowing nothing can be expected from the govt. National security is the basic duty of any govt and all politicians who act against nation's interest should be put away as enemies. Certain issues should be beyond politics.
The countries that have put away terrorists have full backing of all parties. Not only USA, China but also Middle East countries, Indonesia, Malaysia etc. Only those who lack cohesion are sitting ducks. Even Pakistan takes firmer & targeted actions!
It is time we acted in national interests. The days of innocence is gone!

I fully agree with you. Recall the situation after attack on WTC in USA or the train bomb blasts in the UK. All the people, politicians and government were taking one stand and there was no mud-slinging like in India. Even muslims in those countries dare not speak a word against the government, nor could the so called Human Rights Activists make fun of the situation. Such nonsense is possible only in India.

The politicians have taken people for granted, knowing they(politicians) can never be harmed for all their wrong doings!! So they are enjoying all their tenure in office, and planning all the time ,how to make millions by bluffing the people all the time!! People should demand to have only two parties. That is the Proposition and the other Opposition. Anyone should be able to join either of the party. The need of the hour is for all the parties to come together for the service of the nation and its people!!Looks like this will never happen!!Each and every party wants to only rule India, and not serve the people! Thats the attitude of all the parties, and thats the reason for not coming together for a common cause.
