26/11 IN MUMBAI: STONEWALLING

26/11 IN MUMBAI: STONEWALLING

from IntelliBriefs by Naxal Watch

by B Raman

The attack on the Parliament was not an instance of security failure. It was an instance of security success. That was why the terrorists did not succeed. Kandahar was an instance of failure by the then Government. An enquiry should have been held, but the fact that no enquiry was held by the BJP-led Government should not be cited as a ground for not holding an independent enquiry into the Mumbai attack.-- B Raman

I have been pointing out since 2004 that one of the reasons for things going wrong in counter-terrorism management in our country is the lack of activism by the relatives of the victims of terrorist strikes

Unfortunately, in our country, that kind of activism is not there. The Governments are consequently able to get away with their stonewalling.
