This day reminds us of the demolition of Babri Masjid. No one had ever thought that the demolition an old unused structure like this would generate so much of hatred. That day not a single Muslim lost his or her life, but the volcano of emotions and hatred the demolition generated, is unparallel in the history of mankind. Only the common man of both religions suffers. I feel the terrorists want an alibi to destabilize the region.
We will hardly gain any thing by blaming Pakistan. Even they are suffering. We need to fight the menace jointly and exert pressure on Pakistan to dismantle the terror camps of all such groups. However, we can not sit and watch such attacks hitting us time and again. We also need to put our house in order.
Your government had taken some actions, like removing some ministers, announcing creation of a Federal Investigating Agency, creating NSG / ATS centers in the metros, making stricter laws to handle terror, revamping the police forces and strengthening the coastal guards etc, to send a positive message amongst the people, but that is not enough. I recommend systemic changes to address this issue, as under :
1. The security cover should only be given to the PM and the President and few important leaders, who really have a threat perception.
2. The media should be banned from making live coverage of such incidences and encounters. A common agency should give information to all the channels and news agencies. This is to avoid confusion, chaos and also to avoid the information passing on to the terrorists.
3. The salaries of all armed forces, police , NSGs etc should be the best in the country. They should have extensive insurance coverage, very attractive pension schemes, housing etc. This will help in attracting the best in the country. Their family persons should be given a fixed amount per month , almost equivalent to their last drawn salary, as pension in case the person lays down his / her life while serving the country for such a cause.
4. Make the military training compulsory, for two years , for all countrymen above the age of 16, be he in the college or not.
5. Engage the best from amongst the retired army / police / paramilitary forces to draft a policy a law and a system. Engaging Ex FBI / Scotland personnel should also be considered.
6. Implement the announced changes at the earliest.
