The battle continues for India’s Mumbai
It is more than 48 hrs after the terrorist attacks began in Mumbai. More and more information is filtering, information that only proves how well prepared in advance they were. Top policemen and civilians have died. Cellphone conversations of militants talking to their comrades in Karachi were revealed as suspected all along. Pakistan is involved in more than one way, though it may not be the official line from there. There was that time when the attacks on Parliament in New Delhi some time before. The Indian govt. had nearly decided to take military action against Pakistan. But for the intervention of the United States, the situation could have been tackled even then. One way would be to stop the grouping of people in those madrasas in Pakistan. Because that is where these attacks are alleged to be planned. India could warn Pakistan and if they do not close down these religious places, it could launch air strikes on the places of meetings of these terrorist groups. For that the Prime Minister of India should take a firm stand …we salute the bravery of all those who laid down their lives including the hostages.
