It is an attack on India
It is the price we are paying for having a government
that is soft on terrorism and knows nothing other than the vote bank.
The anti terror activity is too busy to an extent
to ‘invent’ Hindu links to the previous attacks,
that the threat- call to finish the ATS chief was just ignored as a hoax.
When every sinew in the anti-terror cell was diverted to pin down
Sadhvis and army men,
the real terrorists have happily gone ahead with their agenda.
The ATS Chief is finished, so also the Nation’s faith in its Government.
My kids wondered how come every important city of India
(or at least has been on the hit-list)
while our Singaara – Chennai is spared!
I think it is because our TN does not pose a threat to terrorists of any kind –
from those across the Palk Strait to the home-grown ones,
nor oppose terrorists of any outfit.
“Vandhaarai vaazha vaikkum thamizhagam idu”.
So it wont be a surprise if the Deccan Mujahideen who have claimed responsibility
for the present crisis in Mumbai,
have had links to or groomed in camps in TN.
Tamilnadu is certainly safe, thanks to Mr Karunanidhi’s policies!

Pune JCP confirms threat to blow up ATS chief's house
An anonymous caller, who used a PCO to contact Pune police, threatened to blow up the residence of Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare "within a couple of days", a top official confirmed on Wednesday.
The caller who spoke a few lines in Marathi on November 24 evening cut the line after giving the threat, Rajendra Sonavane, Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP), told PTI.
The call was later traced to a Public booth in Sahkar Nagar area of the city, he added.
Asked whether it was being seen as a 'hoax', Sonavane said police were taking all such threats seriously in the present scenario and the Mumbai ATS had been informed duly about the threat call.
However, the police control room, when contacted on Tuesday night, had denied receiving any such threat to Karkare.
