From My Diary - Epicenter of Terror

After the recent Bomb explosions in Delhi, the police has come out with a startling Revelation. They feel that almost all the terrorist activities have a link with Azamgadh in UP and the leaders of all such modules acting in the country and having links with SIMI, originate from Azamgadh. That was sufficient in our democracy to trigger criticism from the proponents of the minorities and so called awakened socialists and activists like Sister Shabana and Tista Sitalwad. Our judiciary is also hindering the attempts of the government machinery like police, CBI, etc and passing out strictures against their actions. One simple complaint from such awakened activists is enough for the judiciary to put a spoke. Some of our politicians like Arjun Singh & Amar Singh too are to be blamed. Such people immediately jump in to action under the pretext of protecting the rights of minorities and create friction amongst the classes. Media does not want to be left far behind, so they come out with coverages of the aggrieved families. I have yet to come across a mother or a father or any kith and kin of the accused saying loud and clear that " yes, the accused was on the wrong side of the law and needs to be punished. I find Shabana's recent comment that how could we generalise by saying that Azamgadh is the epicenter of all such recent terrorist acts, which have shaken the confidence of the nation. She further argues that the accused may form only 0.00001 % of Azamgadh Population. it may be true. Then why not find out the percentage of accused with respect to over all Muslim population in the country. It may be 0.000000001 % . So what does she want to prove ? I have one more statistics to put forward. Let us find out the percentage of all accused, having linkage to Azamgadh with respect to the accused from any other city. Probably this figure may be an eye opener for sister shababna. I have a strong opinion and that is - First the CBI and Police should be made autonomous bodies. Secondly, No body , be it an activist, media, judiciary or politicians should be allowed to comment till the police / CBI does its' job and files a case, and create hurdles. In fact such obstacles and political pressures only have an demoralising effect on them. There may be some stray cases of excesses, but then that could be tackled separately and guilty could be punished. But that does not mean that we should stop them from taking appropriate action in time. I feel a strong law and a strong machinery only can help us crack the problem of terror. Till such time if police feel Azamgadh is the epicenter of all the recent acts, be it so . And let us all believe their judgment.
