59 dead and counting,more than 200 injured,Innumerable families torn apart.Squabbles over bodies too mutilated to be identified.All in all an occasion of great happiness transformed into an event of mass mourning.These were some of the effects of the serial bombings that took place at the market places in Delhi on saturday.Eveyone including the police and the intelligence agencies were caught unawares.
So who carried out these attacks?The Delhi police informed the press that an obscure organisation called "Inquilab group" claimed responsibility for the saturday attacks. This group was supposedly started in 1996 and is linked to the Lashkar E Toiba.It is quite well known that such unknown organisations are nothing more than a front for much bigger terrorist organisations like the LeT and the Jaish E Mohammad.In the past(ie pre 9/11) major terrorists organisations used to take a lot of pride in declaring their involvement in any attack.However post 9/11 due to the crackdown on terrorsit organisations all over the world these groups prefer to remain discreet and hence come up with such false fronts to carry out such cowardly attacks.
There is only one question that I would like to ask these terrorists.What did you achieve??Please tell me I really don't understand .What's provokes you to carry out such dastardly acts.Is it Kashmir??Is it a response to the tactics of the Indian Army in Kashmir?
If thats the reason then how do you think will bombing the Indian capital solve the Kashmir issue.What warrants the killing so many innocent civilians who's only mistake was to be present at the wrong place at the wrong time.
The fact is Kashmir is no longer an issue for these organisations.It may have been a motivating factor for these groups in the beginning(16 years ago).However with passage of time these groups became so brutal and barbarous in their approach that they lost sight of their original intention(of that to solve the Kashmir issue).Rather their only intention was to destroy India.It no longer mattered whether the kashmir problem got solved or not all they cared about was to inflict as much pain and suffering on our nation as possible.
At a time when India and Pakistan are walking along the slow road to peace such acts are unwarranted and unjustified.The Pakistan Army(they run the country) should condemn such acts in the strongest terms.But mere words wouldn't suffice.If the Pakis really intend to solve the kashmir issue then they need to take a serious look at what they have spawned.They should take efforts to shut these organisations down.If necessary they could even take the Indian army's help.All this may sound a bit surrealistic but it is the duty of Pakistan to convert it into reality.
Violence achieves nothing but death and destruction.Negotiations and talks are the way forward.India has been an advocate of non violence for the past 58 years.It's high time the Pakistani Government became one as well.
