Organisation for research foundation brought retired bureaucrats to discuss on a topic – “Delhi blasts: What next?” The participants drew heavily from the IPS and IAS fraternity with few exceptions being General (retd) VP Malik and former ambassador to Pakistan G Pathasasatry.
The “What next” part of the discussion vanished from the minds of these chattering ex-bureaucrats as they lapsed into the politicians’ bashing game with all the blame thrown on the poor folks.from the repeal of POTA to the Indian government’s attempt to make friendship with Pakistan and mollify Bangladesh and Myanmar; all came under scathing attack.The ever arrogant former Intelligence Bureau chief KP Singh had all the ills facing this nation as per the security of the nation is concerned ascribed to the political class.
The gathered scribes could not tell him that the government all the time heavily leans on these very bureaucrats for advices and suggestions, but Mr Singh is all the time into the habit of having last word, so why listen to the voice of the people who the journalists represent.Some of these gentlemen also simplified their analysis of terrorism by picking up the soft target that the Indian Muslims present themselves to be.
But it was all left to the General (retd) Afsir Karim to remind that it was the same what Pakistan has been trying all since many years. To substantiate his point, he said the Delhi triple blast was cleverly chosen on pre-Divali eve with Eid on the tow to play the Hindu-Muslim game.General Karim also said it was the great desire of Pakistani ISI sleuths to see the Babri Masji-Ramjanmabhoomi imbroglio to continue as that would have made Indians to directly play into the hands of Pakistani game plan. Hence, as Gen. Karim said it was important that we were cautious while doing any communal analysis of terrorist attacks. Pakistan is an outright enemy of India and it will remain same as those who control the Pakistani regime are too deeply indoctrinated with anti-India psyche to come out of its so easily.
The former governor of Jammu and Kashmir GC Saxena was too lost in self-appreciation to lend any substantive inputs on “What next after Delhi blasts” concern.Despite having so many retired IPS officers present on the occasion no one thought in proper to shed insight on the incompetency of the Delhi police, which despite being the world’s largest metropolitan police force with around 60,000 men in its force remain out of sync with the challenges that the modern age terrorism has thrown to it.
