Delhi Explosions and After

I am often not interested in political topics. But this is one subject which has hurt me a lot. It has not only hurt me , but I am filled with anguish and rage.

We had this sad incident of explosions a few days back. Official estimates tell more than 25 dead and more than 100 injured. So many families have lost their sons ,daughters, husbands,wives , mothers and fathers. Life will not be same for them. It will not be easier for the injured. Don't know how many will completely recover from their injuries.

What does any citizen expects from the government in such times? Does it expect crocodile tears? Does it expect monetary compensation? No. The people all over the country expect their government to nab the culprits. They expect that their police will chase the culprits and sympathisers out of their hideouts and punish them. They expect that their chosen representatives will work for their security and teach such a lesson to these terrorist elements that they will not dare to commit such acts again. There is a difference between individual and organised crimes. No government can completely control individual crime,but it can certainly control such organised terrorist activities. But it requires political will power and rising above party politics. It's sad that our central leadership lacks both.

A few months back similar explosions were carried by these terrorists in Ahmedabad. One person was nabbed by Gujarat police. Next day there were reports that political leaders from central ruling party and their supporting parties visited the family of the suspected terrorist to show their sympathy and support. What message does it give to the nation and international community. Seems the whole world knows that we are a weak country, not necessarily in military but certainly in character. They know our leaders and higher officials can be bought.
They know our central government works for the benefit of one dynasty . The know that most of our leaders are not people of repute and learning ,but crooks and criminals.

Yes crooks , criminals and sycophants are leading this country. Where will they lead us? Certainly to our graves and to their well being. Although I love my country very much ,I see no hope for our country. We are destined to be doomed.
