It’s now a tradition that right after bomb blasts in Mumbai or Delhi, News Channels start shouting फिर दहली मुंबई or फिर दहली दिल्ली . In reality life goes on, candles are lit and politicians get busy in visiting hospitals and making sympathy speeches. In today’s date how much rage has been accumulated for politicians was clearly visible when Rahul Gandhi faced wrath of angry victims' kin at Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital when he went to meet the victims of the Delhi high court bomb blast. Undoubtedly the patients faced trouble due to his visit. On what account did Mr. Rahul Gandhi go to visit the victims? Because he is Congress General Secretary and Member of Parliament. Undoubtedly being son of Sonia Gandhi he possesses great political power but he doesn’t possess a representation from Government. Nowadays it’s been a fashion that just after such incidents, politicians and ministers start rushing to the hospitals for their attendance. They are accompanied by their party workers and supporters. Media also rushes to these hospitals as a part of their duty. By seeing the cameras, a lot of statements are addressed. L K Advani, Nitin Gadkari and V K Malhotra also performed this sympathy ritual together with their troupe. These people have definitely enhanced the troubles of hospital workers not eased by them. This is moreover a political tradition that is being followed from a long time.
My Question is why this can’t happens
- Politicians without giving any statement silently visit the victim’s home or those who are injured.
- Politicians donate blood on this occasion and motivate their party workers and supporters for it.
- Politicians ask their party workers not to come to follow them rather serve as volunteers to help the victims and hospital facility.
- Politicians come forward for financial aid on party level without waiting for official government financial aid.
There is nothing to say because the Home Minister himself has spoken that Delhi Police was on High Alert. Why not Delhi Police High Alert is made little more Higher, a little more active and agile.3 months 13 days ago on 25th May there was a similar blast outside Delhi High Court whose investigation is going on and today another blast piled up. Both were similar and moreover Police never try to differentiate these blasts.
The things which happen every time and now can be called "bomb blast rituals" :
- Initially off the record and then on the record the blast is declared to be Terrorist attack.
- After few hours some terrorist group’s name is declared stating their involvement.
- Next explosive chemical is told. Almost every time it is declared that it is Ammonium Nitrate later it is rectified with some other explosive chemical.
- Nails and bearings are retrieved from the spot.
- The explosive is either packaged inside a bag or suitcase.
- Security Agencies claim that they knew it was coming.
But in spite of all these stuff no one knows who were involved in the blasts and no one gets caught. The carelessness of Government Machinery gets exposed every-time but it gets buried with the passage of time. After 25th May blast there was an order for installing CCTV camera but unfortunately those cameras got stuck in government files and red tapes.
Usually Delhi or Mumbai are on top lists of terrorist groups because a blast in these cities reaches across the world via New Channels because Delhi/Mumbai blasts are not like Kashmir or North East blasts where people are dying but attention is never given. Terrorist know that they can never beat Government with their tactics but can spread terror and for that bomb blast in a city like Delhi is the easiest medium.
We understand that Government can’t keep vigilance after each and every region but a little honest effort and terrorist themselves be terrorized. We don’t want to hear two words today: Condemnation and Resilience. They have become excuses for apathy and numbness. We just want an honest effort and nothing else.
Hope this wish come true.
