Now or Never

24 hours after the terror attack on Mumbai, while the people of this country have not yet fathomed the loss they have suffered, its really shameful to see that politicians have started playing the blame game. There is always time for politics and this is certainly not the time. These are tough times for everyone and we as a nation need to provide a united front and take actions to make sure that the people of this country never fall victim to such acts of evil. The common man already has many challenges and difficulties he needs to face and worrying about the safety of his loved ones is one thing he could do without. The people of this country want and deserve to walk its motherland without fear.

In the past 12 months the country has been a victim to more than 6 terror attacks. The questions everyone wants to ask the leaders of this nations are - Why have we been a victim of so many attacks? Why has nothing been done after the first few attacks, and many more? I know its too late to raise these questions and no matter what the answer is the present is not going to change but the answers are required so that we can move ahead with resolution. This is the time to investigate and learn from what has passed, make the right conclusions and implement the right system so that incidents like these never happen in the future and even if they do we are better equipped to tackle them quickly. I fear if we do not act now India is heading towards a certain doom.
