Islamic Terror is now a global phenomena spreading to whole world including China. Islamic terrorists are more active in Muslim countries like Afghanistan, Indonesia and Middle East and even Pakistan. Islamic terror Jini is out of the bottle and the biggest challenge to humanity.
After the Congress revoked POTA, Indian police has not been able to solve any terrorist case, not even the deadly 7/11 Mumbai blasts. Central Intelligence organizations are expressing helplessness and frustration. Since we do not have a proper anti-terror law they find it difficult to interrogate or hold terror suspects. They say that fight against terror cannot be fought by Police alone. Legislature, judiciary and most important Media, Polity and Public have to do their part as well. Police have been able to arrest some terror suspects in some cases but could not solve the case or break in deeper into these organizations because of lack of laws, political will as well as due to political pressure of vote bank politics. Unfortunately we have a situation where terrorists are getting bolder and deadlier after each terror act. Bombay Serial blasts case in 1992 was solved immediately because we had TADA that time which helped not just in catching and convicting the culprits but also in discouraging any future attack and breaking the back of terror organizations.
For the next few years there were no terrorist activities in India and terror suspects ran away and found refuge in Pakistan and Dubai.

TADA was also successfully used against Tamil and Sikh militants and important cases like Rajiv Gandhi murder was solved with its help.
Later TADA was repealed by Congress as demanded by Muslim, pseudo-secular and Human (read Muslim) rights organizations while BJP tried its best to oppose this move. These organizations claimed anti-terror laws were against Muslims as most of the persons arrested under TADA happened to be Muslims (That shouldn’t have been surprising). The effect of this move was immediate, terrorist organizations like SIMI and PDP (Madhani) regrouped and we saw a series of homegrown terror attacks like Coimbatore series blasts.
After BJP came in power it brought in milder version of TADA called POTA after prolonged negotiations and amidst heavy opposition by pseudo-intellectual media and pseudo-secular politicians.
Pseudo-seculars are now claiming that POTA was ineffective because terrorism like Akshardham and Parliament attack happened even after POTA. This is a fallacy because there is an important difference. The attacks that time were committed by ISI sponsored terrorists who would come from across the border on a suicide mission.
Attacks like that are difficult to stop.
At the same because of POTA we had managed to infiltrate local terrorist organizations and their activity was heavily subsided.
POTA helped convict terrorists and their sympathizers and as a result created fear among terrorists and their supporters even in Kashmir.

Current situation is diametrically different. Pakistan is now facing terrorism itself and is not actively supporting terrorism due to western pressure. This should have reduced terrorism in India but on the other hand we have local organizations using local material and without any outside support able to commit bigger terrorist attacks. We have not been able to solve any cases in the last 3 years after POTA was repealed. This just proves that we have given a free hand to terrorists and not to law enforcement agencies
India still does not have an anti-terror law even though there is a UN resolution which mandates each country should set up anti-terrorism laws and even Europe/America have anti-terror laws. Madhani (PDP) responsible for Coimbatore blasts was released by court and his release welcomed by CPIM.
People talk about justice for Gujarat riots. 20 years after massacre and ethnic cleansing of Kashmiri Hindus and with soldiers sacrificed in Kashmir, not even a single terrorist has been convicted. PDP-Congress coalition released most of the terrorists and gave them government jobs and monetary compensation calling it “Healing Touch Policy” while as their victims "Kashmiri Hindus" are languishing in inhuman conditions in concentration camps.
PDP has now revived the separatist and anti-Hindu movement by fanning Muslim fanatics on Amaranth Issue. No Pseudo-secular has raised his voice for this injustice.
Pseudo seculars blame BJP for releasing 5 terrorists f

To defeat terrorists we first need to defeat these anti-national pseudo-secular forces. They will blame BJP for creating Muslim terrorists. But this is a fallacy. For example look at Europe where even though most Muslims due to their cultural backwardness are unemployed and survive on government grants, Islamic terrorism is still a major problem for these countries. Islamic terrorists take appeasement as a sign of weakness and get encouraged. The more you give in to them the more they will demand. For example US policy of no negotiations with terrorists has resulted in less Americans getting kidnapped.
TADA created fear for Terrorists and their sympathizers till it was repealed for Vote bank politics and even now most political parties are unwilling to go for such a law.
Three years after deadly 7/11 train blasts in Mumbai we have neither been able to convict anyone nor even able to get to the bottom of the case. On the other hand in 1992, Mumbai Police was able to solve the case immediately after the incident with the help of TADA.
Terror cells are operating in India with impunity and getting bolder with each success. The major difference now is that it is a home grown terrorism, which is much more dangerous. There are some peaceniks who will suggest that we should continue to appease Muslims so that they stop targeting us. We have tried appeasement in Kashmir and as a result terrorism has revived. There is nothing that encourages terrorists more than appeasement.
