Terror Attacks - III

The casualties in the latest terror attack on an army establishment at Uri, Kashmir is really disturbing. It's the second attack in the same area in the last two years. It's unclear whether there were any 'lessons learnt' from the first attack. Will there be any accountability? I know many Hindutvites boasting about the hawkish officers in the establishment. This kind of brainwash from the 'natural patriots' will ever allow the question of accountability even in cynical discourse? The home minister boasts using state power to suppress the dissenting voices. Will there be any introspection from the Hindutva supporting middle class whether the government has got the definition of danger to national identity correct and whether it has set right priorities in tackling the problems?

Terror Attacks - II

According to this article there was an actionable intelligence about Pathankot terror attack. Now this is a different scenario from all the previous attacks where security agencies claimed they never had actionable intelligence from the spy agencies. I just hope this would be properly investigated and people would be held responsible if there were lapses.

Terror Attacks - I

The central government claims that they have given specific intelligence about terror strikes. The state government claims that they haven't received any 'actionable' intelligence. This drama was played during Mumbai attacks and had been repeated for the latest Varanasi bomb blasts. I suppose IB reports should be brought under RTI with certain conditions. Now this specific intelligence has become dud the public must be able to examine that.
