It is war, it has to be fought like one ...

The message is loud and clear from Gujarat,
It (Terrorism) is war, it has to be fought like one ....


How it is to be fought ? Political leadership has to show the "will and resolve" that they want it win this battle and end the disease of terrorism tooth and nail. So, they did the right things at right time ....

1. Asking the society to maintain peace, much to the displeasure of 24x7 media channels who were expecting rhetoric speeches from CM for cheap TRP ratings. For instance here, channel isn't appreciating State Govt. and Police of prevent Ahmadabad in Surat but is being apprehensive of the CM. Such a useless idiots sitting in media houses.

2. Investigate the blasts on "war footing" ...

By midnight of July 26 the ruling political leadership sprang into action to make senior policemen understand that their investigations will get 100 per cent support, nothing less nothing more. They had at their disposal money, resources, manpower and even a chartered plane.

More than 11 teams were formed within the first few hours of the blasts. One team was asked to handle the investigations into the material used in the bombs. Another team was asked to investigate the use of bicycles. Another team was formed to thoroughly check all the phone calls made in Ahmedabad from certain areas just before and after the blasts. Another team was set up to reach out to all the police informers and gather their opinions on and information of the blasts. One team followed the cyber crime aspect of the case. The overall investigation of the case was assigned to the crime branch of Ahmedabad where more than 100 people started following whatever little leads that were available, from the midnight of July 26.

All of them were told that even if "communal riots (the possibility was always there) take place in Ahmedabad they should not divert their attention."

Read on ...

Contrast this with the fact that we have political leaders who don't catch the terrorists for fear of communal riots. The same person (Abul Bashar Qasmi and Co.) was let off by UP Govt. fearing riots by the muslims as I had already mentioned in the last blog title "We have caught them ...."

Is Police good for nothing ? Think again ...

"From July 26 to August 16 (when the breakthrough was announced) none of us went home to sleep. Every morning at 7 we would all go home and return after a shower and in fresh clothes. We would sleep on our chairs in the daytime. We haven't hit the bed yet," said Deputy Commissioner of Police Abhay Chudasama.
