Crush terrorism without any delay

Ahead of the Karnataka Assembly elections next month, 17 people, including 11 policemen, were injured in a bomb blast barely 50 metres from the BJP party office here on Wednesday morning. The modus operandi of the bomb blast in Bangalore near BJP office clearly reflected it to be the act of terror. It has also been experienced in the number of terror acts that there is no co-ordination between intelligence and security agencies in dealing with terror acts and thereby they fail to pre-empt most of the terror incidents. Here also, Whether the intelligence agencies had provided any input about the bomb blast in the city in advance to the state police and security agencies or not is a matter of investigation. But one thing is clear that there is complete lack of co-ordination between the security and intelligence agencies entrusted with the tasking of dealing with terror acts that occur in different cities of our nation at regular intervals. A few months back, there was blast in Hyderabad. The main culprit of the bomb blast is still at large. The recurrence of terror act amply makes it clear that the government of India irrespective of political parties has totally failed in chalking out programme and policies to deal with the most burning problem of the nation- the terrorism. It has been experienced repeatedly that political parties jump to take political advantage out of any terror act that takes place in country. The ruling Congress and the opposition BJP always drag terror act into the discussion that reflects diversionary views on terror. That is why the successive governments have failed to deal with terrorism. It is open secret that our hostile neighbour Pakistan is behind sponsoring and fanning terrorism from across the border in our country. When that much we know, why don't we evolve national consensus nation on the policy to deal with terrorism with our full might. Why the ruling as well as opposition party does use the incident of terror for promoting their respective political interest? Terror act will continue to occur at regular intervals if our political leadership irrespective of political affiliations does not act unitedly on this issue. There is urgent need of sincere effort in the interest of the nation to evolve a consensus policy in national interest and going whole hog against terrorism. Terrorism has no colour, creed, religion, principle or any political affiliation. Terrorism is the enemy of the nation and it deserves to be crushed as early as possible.
