Serial Blasts in Mumbai

ajinkya · Post by **ajinkya** » 13 Jul 2011 21:19

Just spoken to a friend of mine who was minutes away from the zaveri bazaar site...He says the Mumbai police responded pretty quickly.He helped in initial evacuation of the injured ,and though he admitted to have become a bit dazed by the events ,said all the injured had severe burns and none of the people he evacuated had splinter wounds. Now this chap is or rather was a full on WKK type , now he is swearing for revenge .Sad he needed to see bloodshed to realise who the enemy is and what he is capable of

RD garu,

Glad to know your folks are safe.

Also got to ask why ISI targets Mumbai so much only. Must hv to do with the Dawood infra still in place (and stronger than before, perhaps?) with additional political patronage as well.

Bangalore etc are also tempting targets where hitting at our economic jewels is concerned. But still, Mumbai somehow seems to get singled out for special attention only.

Aah, the zeal of the neo-convert, perhaps. Pak doesn;t know what its provoking once the WKK-itis in India's population dies in radiation therapy caused by repeated terror attacks.

For many years Pakistan based terror organizations have promised at least one terrorist attack a year so that their presence in India is not forgotten. That is why I asked why there had been no atack fora while. Except for a gap after 26/11 we have had at least one attack a year. 2008 started like this - but the number of attacks went up in ferocity and frequency and ended with 26/11.

Of course we on BRF have blamed Indian Muslims in the past as we are now blaming that foreign catholic lady. It's always someone else isn't it? The fact is that the terror apparatus from Pakistan is able to reach into India at least once a year. Clearly it is not difficult to find dissatisfied people in India ready for indoctrination and logistics. Mumbai seems to be the favored target because the police and politicians and mafia are all in it together.

I have said several times in the past that we can never thank or appreciate the security apparatus enough for attacks that are prevented. If no attack occurs whom do you thank? But when an attack occurs we are constrained to find someone to blame.

In my view the Kashmir issue will not go away. But Pakistan can be rendered less effective without US aid. We (India) have our balls in a bind. We can only express anger. We cannot actually do anything simply because Pakistan (with its ally the US) has put us in a situation where starting a war benefits the Pakistani army and its non uniformed jihadi allies. We can only gnash our teeth in frustration. The Paki army will claim that "non state actors" cannot be controlled in the absence of funds from the US. So far the US has always paid them. Let's see what happens now.

Come on folks, people still dont realize? Its not a institutional issue. The issue is that the people who run things at center are perfectly ok with it.

They would spend time torturing a Col of Indian army decorated for bravery to make a political point than do anything about the safety and security of the country.

There are two kinds of Indians. It is a fact.

I believe most of us here want to share news and perhaps see what we can deduce from what we know so far. How anti-GOI rants help during such times, i fail to understand. May be I'm naive as some you said. But I just don't see the sense.

YES I AGREE WITH YOUR VIEWS.

But all of us, the common man, are getting increasingly frustrated at nothing happening to have an end to this misery. Ranting does not help except to get a bit of steam off !!

Heart wreathes in pain after hearing yet another sickening blast in Dadar and other areas. What audacity to strike the same spot? Stop we are peace activists, sauth asia equal equal, sauth asia is an epicenter of persecution, dhritarashtra wants peace at any cost because we share common cultures some being more vultural than others and for joint development of sauthekai asia we need piss process to go on and in mandyan language after a nice post wimbledon outing not indira bhavan but star hotel at public cost, to bridge the differences the core issues that divide us cashemere when the blood of 26/11 is still fresh and you see to allow more terrorists inside by liberalizing visa for activists, painters, scholars and concerned citizens, kafila,sahmat,wkk etal. Oh king drhitrarashtra rest in peace, comfortably numb. Could there be connection with the spurt in underworld activity in recent times? What prevents GOI from going after the one at the epicenter of the matrix?
May as we mourn the dead, pray for those who have left this world hope something happens and at least the culprits are identified.
Jai Hind

Perhaps we need to the look at the 25 crores of pissful minorities living in India, there are enough Paki wannabes and traitors in our own house, not every terror attacke has to be orchestrated by Pak. Traitors have a critical mass right here in India now.
The need of the hour is the cleansing of this land of evil idealogies. Pak and rest of the world can wait.

We cannot ignore the traitors of the D-gang in Mumbai.They are an ISI 'asset' which makes mumbai particularly vulnerable.At the very least,we need to teach these pigs a lesson.The local involvement in 26/11 was blacked out.We need to skin the local pigs alive.

While it might impossible to prevent each and every incident, but what gets my goat is that the perpetrators are never punished.

There is solution to this problem but it needs good leaders. Unfortunately India dont' have one. We wasted a large portion of our time in allowing Pakistan to exist in our neighbourhood. If we had acted, Iran must be our neighbhor as in the past and all the Pakis must have died long back or moved to Saudi Arabia. Once Pakistan eliminated (using all the methods from economics to military to diplomacy), Dharma will reign supreme. We can grab our lost lands from what is today Bakistan. We can create economic issues for Pakistan and make them suffer more. We can destroy their diplomatic relations with all the countries in the world by threatening to either choose India or Pakistan and I don't think any sane nation will choose Pakistan. All these can be implemented and finally we can ensure that there exists no Pakistan in our neighbourhood. But do we have such capable leaders?

This is the work of ISI and Dawood. Blasts of this nature are Dawood's specialty and has his signature calling written all over it. This is to ensure that India is aware that Dawood is alive and kicking. Remember Lt Gen Pasha said (when our chiefs stated that they have the capability to do a Geronimo-type operation in Pakistan) that India better watch out because they have targets already mapped out and ready to strike.

This is just the sampler/appetizer....to warn India of what will happen if we do something to their H&D. What is surprising to me is why they took this long (from early May [Osama's death] to mid July) to strike.

Our politicians will capitulate onlee and run with their dhotis in-between their legs.

I am sure many people have read the book "Maximum City" where the author describes the uneasy relationship between mafia, D-gang, Shiv Sena, the police and others. It is a frightening nexus that cannot be removed easily. It is part of the system. MMS, BJP, Catholic ladies, Humpty Dumpty - nobody can clean it up.

Under slightly different circumstances - Mumbai could be a Karachi but India retains a lot more control in Mumbai thanks to Indians and a system that works better than in Pakistan though not as well as the USA.

Why isn't the Non State Actor BS a game that two can play?

We can also have our Non State Actors do a bit of damage every now and then to RAPE infrastructure inside TSP, or terror tanzeem offices, or national landmarks. Then when TSP does an == blame game about Indian Pak-specific terror outfits, Chidambaram can open his dossiers to investigate our bad boys.
