Payback from Mumbai blast

Payback from Mumbai blast


About 200 civilians and about 20 police and army officials lost their lives in the Mumbai blast. Loss of several crores of rupees was incurred to the country’s exchequer. The Taj hotel restarted their functioning and others are about to reopen. The blast is considered as the one of the greatest failures of India’s intelligence agency. Still then “Everything happens for the good”

This I say because as the major payback of the incident the government has contemplated to strengthen its security measures. The leader of the Opposition has called for stringent anti terror laws. Thus all came to understand the need of high security in the country and this is overall benefit to the nation from the Mumbai explosion. All feel in the aftermath of Mumbai terror attacks, a new terror law is imminent as a patriotic act. And a more important verity is Indians should start to think beyond religions. Those killed in Mumbai explosion were not alone Hindus or Christians. There were Muslims and Jews. The concept of treating Muslims as terrorists will go. The Muslims must be more stable and protected in the country. The communal division in the country will diminish and the fanatics of all religions will be viewed as insurgents. The blast will weaken political parties playing communal cards.
