Terror Quota

Two powerful bomb blasts ripped across Hyderabad yesterday.Around 40 people died and scores injured.Tragic weekend for the victims and a hectic one for the media.As is customary politicians visited the place,gave the usual sound bytes and left.Why does the media need to interview them?.They could play the same thing,they blurted out on earlier occasions.Any person who can spot the difference between the condolence messages needs to be awarded.He/She without an iota of doubt possesses the best pair of eyes and ears in the country!!!!!!.

Within 24 hours the chief minister announced relief packages for the victims.Even shehenshah Akbar would have been proud with such speedy dispensation of justice.wouldn't he?But by the Congress's own logic shouldn't the relief be based on quotas???.After all they project themselves as the champions of justice and secularism.Even the injured,should be hospitalised based on quotas,and it goes without saying that the doctors concerned would be treating them based on their caste.Where are the Ram Vilas Paswan's and the Meira Kumar's??Ram Vilas paswan suggested that there should be quotas in the judiciary and Meira kumar said that there should be quotas for entrepreneurs form backward castes.In all fairness they should come out and say treatment should be based on quotas.Shouldn't they????They wouldn't in their wildest dreams.Like everybody else,they know very well that tragedy knows no religion or caste.The bomb cannot distinguish between castes.It knows only one thing and that's it,period.

The Union Home minister Shivraj Patil addressed the media,the following day.Considering what he said,Ridiculous is an understatement."It happens like this only,we cannot help it.Our condolences to the deceased".Why does it happen like this only Mr Patil?When you can lose an election and still become a union home minister anything is possible.When your an outcast from your own constituency and you still go onto become a union minister,alas elections have lost its significance in our country.I agree the bombs were meant to destroy soft targets and nothing can be done to patrol such places.However Lumbini park wasn't another chat shop.Surely there was a security lapse there.

At the end of the day,India being a nuclear power does not help.Its sustenance along with substance which matters not just secularism and quotas!!!!!!
