Fighting terror can’t be held ransom to vote bank politics, believes Ranjit Bhushan
The conduct of the union home ministry during the five-year-UPA rule has been blasphemous. If Shivraj Patil became known more for his sartorial elegance and less for insights into the working for India’s internal security structure, his successor P. Chidambaram, who made a good start, has lost political face by throwing out the IPL saying that teams could be attacked like the Lankans in Pakistan. “By doing so, he has walked into the trap laid by terrorists,’’ avers BJP MP Ravi Shankar Prasad. “The Congress is committed to fight terror. We know how to deal with it,’’ Congress spokesman Abhishek Manu Singhvi, retorts.
Judged by any neutral observer, it would be safe to say that the UPA government has seen less of terror attacks when compared to NDA. There have been no attacks like the ones on Parliament and the subsequent buildup during Operation Parakram. Even though, it has been business as usual in Kashmir.
Sadly, India remains one of the few countries in the world where the consensus on terror has nearly broken down and can easily pass off as a party dispute – apart from occasional joint statements issued on floor of the Parliament. While Republicans and Democrats in the US frequently disagree, there can be no differences on fighting terror and it cannot be held ransom to the vagaries of vote bank politics. The sooner parties in India realise it, the better and safer it is.
