CONFUSIONS AND CONTRADICTIONS

When a government stands divided among themselves, when the Prime Minister and the State Minister of Defence are left out of Security Council meetings and even the venues are kept secret to them; what kind of a democratic government are we looking at? When a government is divided to such an abysmal extent, how can it not fall? More importantly, how could the Prime Minister and the State Minister of Defence have remained silent all this time and not claimed their right to be present at these meetings, thus jeopardizing the peace of the country

and its people? ‘United we stand, divided we fall’ was not coined in vain – India claims to have sent three security alerts, the last being hours before the first suicide blast! Having seen that, NO ACTION HAD BEEN FORTHCOMING ON THESE SECURITY ALERTS! HOW AND WHY DIDN’T INDIA MAKE ANY MOVE TO INITIATE SOME ACTION WITH THE RIGHT SOURCE? IF THE PRIME MINISTER HIMSELF ACKNOWLEDGES THAT THESE SECURITY ALERTS HAD BEEN SENT BY INDIA, THEN ISN’T HE CULPABLE BY DEFAULT? What is baffling is that while the Prime Minister acknowledges this, the President claims the intelligence warning reports were not shared with him! WHO DO WE BELIEVE IN ALL THIS? We are trusting citizens who have stupidly left our security and the security of our country in these hands! Hundreds have died and more are suffering because of these rifts and crises within the government; these rifts have been going on for some time now! It is the poor citizens who suffer and die when a government becomes a security threat, they should not just say they are accountable, if they had any sense of shame, self-respect and decency, they should have resigned by now!
