Through this post I would like to urge for HELP.
Firstly, help for my not so near friend President Zardari to get him “The Evidence”. Of course the World knows where 26/11 terrorists came from, Rice said "There is evidence of involvement somehow on Pakistani soil" in Mumbai attacks and later confirming Pakistan role in Mumbai attacks along with Powell who said that Pakistan will have to eliminate LeT, but still my friend is not able to find the “evidence’. While articulating this post saw on CNN that Police is plain cloths are posted in Kesab’s (Caught Terrorist) village to keep the reporter or journalist away.
The Three days of terror that claimed 195 lives was an act of share cowardness. The Mumbai terrorists used an array of commercial technologies -- from Blackberries to GPS navigators to anonymous e-mail accounts -- to pull off their heinous attacks. Statesman says U.S., Indian officials cite evidence, including phone calls, pointing to group in Pakistan , France24.com articulated Gunmen had 'commando' training at Pakistan camp, India even had proof of involvement by ISI and even the Pakistani father of surviving gunman speaks about his son.
The gunman captured during the attacks on Mumbai said he had undergone months of commando-style training in an Islamist militant camp in Pakistan. The training was organized by the Lashkar-e-Taiba militant group, and conducted by a former member of the Pakistani army. The arrested terrorist says gang hoped to get away and even had the GPS coordinates that charted a return course to Karachi, but now pleads for legal help from Pakistan . Each move of was carefully orchestrated while Terrorists were receiving instructions from Pak.
But unfortunately with so much written or evidence provided still president Zardari says 'Pakistan in no way responsible' for mumbai attacks and now despite UN sanctions, Pakistan has even released four detained workers of Jamaat-ud-Dawa. So much in the name of cooperation.
While researching for this post I came across few aftermaths of the terror attack in Mumbai. I feel wretched when a section of community is targeted or when we indulge in communal polarisation . Yes it is “we” who does not take a minute before passing a judgement, forming a belief or even acting or reacting. "I consider myself neither Hindu nor Muslim, but Indian. Yet, it's my name that is causing problems”; said Dr Sharifa Bijliwala, who is trying to rent a house in Pune. So how we are different from people who is caused this attacks. Aren’t we doing the same to section of community what these terrorist did to us – “target the innocent or victimize them”. This is one question that “I and you” need to answer.
Who gave us the permission to segment people based on their name, the way they dress, and so on? If I may assume, President Zardari may have pressure from all over commanding his act, but what pressures you and me have that leads us to quickly make an opinion about an event, people, society or place?
Having opined about this frustration, I would like to emphasize that I am not against any religion or country; however I only urge that no where in the world people should witness such a kind of inhuman act – Terror or Discrimination. Killing innocent men would not lead them to any Allah, God, Bhagwan, Christ, & so on. The only way to serve god is to serve what god has created – “Mankind”.
While world helps my not so near friend President Zardari, we need to help ourselves to get rid of this hatred and attitude of quickly generalizing. Today, I see someone very close to me……..very far, and I can see what hatred and lack of communication can do. This reminds me of a phrase of one of the popular ad campaign of Airtel (India leading mobile operators) - “Barriers break when people talk”. So please, as President look for “evidence”, YOU do not look for reason to hatred. I and you have only one life, and let’s make the best of it. The act of terror is unacceptable so does the act of discrimination.
So don’t just smile, help others to smile as well.
Note :- I don't wish to make this blog a platform for political or emotional debate(s) but certain issue needs articulation.
