Instead of thanking God, I thank all those NSG commandos, army men, policemen and others who braved it through the sadistic terrorist attack on Mumbai.

And, without wasting a day more, I want the authorities to reach a solution to avoid attacks like these.

And this time, the solution cannot be  the setting up of committees, meetings, invitations to diplomats and the usual nonsense.

Civilians, common people, aam janta, call them what you will, are unwilling listen to political blame. We want results.

That also reminds me of the 'so-called' chief of Maharashtra, Raj Thackeray, was nowhere to be seen. Whic h was sensible as the presence of politicians  normally ruins things. However, now that the operation is finished, we believe he should take constructive action.

As the smoke and battle noise have now settled in Mumbai, stakeholders of our security should think about why India must combat the menace of terror each day.

With India facing multiple challenges in its internal security, a change in the union ministry or of the Chief Minister, will not yield any desired result, as substitutes are birds of the same feather.

Even though our security forces have delivered praiseworthy results in Mumbai, these terror strikes should become an eye opener for the guardians of our security.

With evidence mounting on the terrorist infrastructure in Pakistan and their continued financial support to the ‘India-centric’ operations, how can our country achieve stability and peace?

If Pakistan’s nuclear capability falls into the hands of these terrorists, willfully or accidentallyly, what would the repurcussions be?

India now  needs to exhibit its will and capability to control its  neighbourhood. Pakistan must learn to respect India’s strategic sensitivities and be mindful of the fact that India, as the predominant power in the region, can enforce its writ.

I am disgusted see how the BJP is trying to cash in on their position in the aftermath of terror strikes.

LK Advani and Rajnath Singh skipped the all-party meeting called by the Prime Minister, Narendra Modi was heard trying to woo the family members of those who lost their lives fighting terrorism by offering compensation.

Yesterday Vasundhara Raje, Rajasthan CM was seen on TV blaming Congress for the mayhem.

9/11 changed the USA’s perception of terrorism. I hope 26/11 does the  same for India.
