Cowardly act

The terror has struck Hyderabad, killing 16 people and injuring more than 100. It is a dastardly act. Everyone should condemn it in strongest words. This is not the first time that the terror has struck Hyderabad and several innocent persons have lost their lives for no fault of their own, but because of the casual, callous and politically-motivated approach of the government irrespective of political party at the Centre to deal with terrorism. Centre is mainly responsible to deal with the problem of terrorism, no matter whether the terror is home grown or sponsored from across the border. The terror acts have also been carried out during the BJP-led NDA regime at the Centre between 1998 and 2004. So no matter whether there is Congress-led UPA or BJP-led NDA government at the Centre, terror acts have been carried out at regular intervals. The main reason behind the failure of the Central government to smash and crush terrorism is its way of dealing. It deals with terror, keeping in view about only scoring political points. As long as there is politics over terror by the ruling Congress party and the main opposition party BJP, terror act would continue to be carried out. After terror act, no lesson is learnt by the government. Union Home Minister has admitted that Government had intelligence report and given it to all states, though it was general information alert about the terror act. The general information alert had also given name of some the cities where terror act may happen. The name of Hyderabad was mentioned in the general information alert where terror strike could happen. This information was given only two days ago. This may not be specific information about terror act but it was of terror act and not about any feast and celebration to participate. It was a terror alert. So, it should have been taken with utmost care. Intelligence agencies will give the government information about impending terror act. There was information with intelligence agencies that Pune blast accused had raceed Dilsukh Nagar area in Hyderabad two days ago. The responsibility of the Central government does not end the moment it dispensed terror alert information with all the state governments. It is also the responsibility of the Central government to see how much seriously the state governments took the terror alert information given by it to them. The casual, insincere and callous approach to the issue of terrorism will only aggravate the situation. Terror has neither any caste nor religion. It is the enemy of humanity.
