As BJP rightly says, we need a strong anti-terrorism law. The one in which people if convicted, must be denied bail by default and death penatly must be mandatory for terror convicts. This terrorist sameer, was let out on bail and he continued to do his terror activities. Hope Congress will learn a lesson from this and stop treating minorities just for their votes. Its high time the congress starts to think about our nation. I am sure, the minorities in our country don't want a separate treatment but to be treated in equal terms with the main stream population.

As though tackling terrorism was not enough, now comes another move which definitely borders on the ridiculous and the extent to which policy of appeasement is being carried by the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government at the Centre, which is to support the kin of terrorists killed in Jammu and Kashmir.
There could be no better ammunition for the Opposition, National Democratic Alliance (NDA) to buttress its argument that the ruling UPA has been soft on terrorism than by undertaking such an exercise.
The UPA government soon after coming to power did away with POTA describing it as being aimed at a particular community.
And now this move could only make matters worse in the country where the threat from terrorists has been growing almost day by day and till date no firm action has been taken nor any terrorist of repute been caught by the government.
The argument maybe that the kin has nothing to do with the killed terrorist but it definitely would encourage more youngsters to take to the gun against the State as their families would be supported by the State in case of their death.
With the elections to the J&K Assembly slated for later this year, what better sop to get votes than this. It is definitely a ridiculous extent to which policy of appeasement is being carried on by the government & if such a policy is put in place, it would only encourage growth not only in terrorism in J & K but also groups like Naxalites and Maoists whose families
