26-Nov-2008. : Terrorist attack on Mumbai – Taj, Oberoi and Nariman House
Our Motherland has been attacked by cowardly terrorists, causing inexplicable damage, grief and sorrow to numerous families and aimed at denting the economic growth in our Motherland.
I pray for the brave sons and daughters of our motherland Bharat and numerous foreigners who lost their lives. God be with their families to cope up with the tragic loss of their loved ones.
The courage and determination showed by our armed forces, NSG, Marine commandos, Police and other agencies in defeating this sinister and evil design ( as we hear from news channels, that their plans were of megalomaniac proportions) of the terrorists deserves commendable praise and salutations.
For the first time, we did not negotiate with the terrorists in a hostage situation. This shows our WILL.
More than 200 precious lives have been plucked by this cruel act. The spineless perpetrators of this dastardly crime and their network are at large. In the coming days there will be lot of political rhetoric and blame games by our politicians. Thanks to our political system, we will never see light, nor will be a fitting response to such dastardly acts of cowardice.
A month later, the entire episode will be forgotten, and a year later we will all light candles in remembrance of the dead. Somewhere, across our shores there will be blue prints under preparation for the next target. As a nation we need an answer on what will be done to stop this and protect us from such violence ?
We need an answer from the Government, Our President, Our members of Parliament on what will be done to assure the safety of citizens of this peace loving country, which is one of the fundamental rights as per constitution
I salute the brave officers of this country who died in protecting Her honor. Hemant Karkare, Sandeep Unnikrishnan, Vijay Salaskar , Ashok Kamte, Gajendra Singh……and many others. We should not subject ourselves to a mode of fear and helplessness,for that would be a pyrrhic victory for the shameless perpetrators of this reprehensible act. We should rather unitedly stand-up and demand action on how such things are going to be prevented.
This is MY COUNTRY and I have a right to live in peace here. I’ll not live a life of fear and succumb to the evil designs of terrorists. I will not surrender my Spirit, to the evil machinations of cowardly terrorists.
JAI HIND !!
