Hyderabad Blasts - questions worth asking.


There are certain aspects about the blasts that seem to be ignored in the media. Some of them are given below:

First time children have been targeted (Lumbini Park is essentially a Children's Park). It has always been religious places or localities with large populace of particular communities that have been targeted. Presuming that terrorists are actually behind the blast what brings about this change in strategy?


Gokul is a very busy place. Gokul Chat Bhandar is a place always crowded with people. You would not find an inch of space to stand in the place. How could someone plant a bomb without anyone noticing? It should not be difficult to find out form the people about any suspicious objects placed at Gokul

How was a ‘terror-hand’ unearthed within an hour of the blast? What is the info that prompted the police to ‘declare’ terrorist intent behind the blast?

Explosives found at 16 other places. What the heck are the police and indeed the political establishment doing? Intelligence agencies have warned time and again that Hyderabad had become a beehive for a lot of terrorist sleeper cells. Yet, no action or efforts were visible at the ground level of any efforts made to unearth the sleeper cells.

Why does no one ever get caught for such blasts?

Why do such acts always happen in Congress regimes? This is no outlandish claim but perfectly verifiable fact (You could browse the net for a chronology of the incidents). Hyderabad was prone to communal riots and terror attacks before NTR became the chief Minister. While NTR was the CM hardly any incidents of this nature happened. However, once NTR lost power and the Congress came back, the incidents of communal and terror disturbances resumed again. They stopped when the TDP party of NTR came back to power. Hyderabad saw a long period of peace for 9 years under the TDP regime (Chandrababu Naidu replaced NTR as the Chief Minister after a year). Unfortunately, the TDP lost power again and guess what? The communal disturbances and Bomb blasts have resumed again. Who is in power? The Congress Party.

This comes as no surprise to the Hyderabadis for most of them know where the priorities of the Congress lie. The people here have a special phrase to describe the Congress regime – “Mana Rajyam” or ‘our government.’ The ‘our’ in this phrase, however is not the common man but the powerful businessman, leader, politician or a powerful goonda or a terrorist. These sections have great freedom to do what they want that is why they call it their government (‘Our Government’).

Let us pray for all those who lost their lives in the blast and also for those who engineered the blasts.

It is sad that these terrorist activities have happened. What can the common man do? Nothing, except
to live in fear for he has no power or authority to avoid these incidents. The common man is engaged in his day to day activities. Who has the power and authority to avoid these incidents?
It is the Politicians and Police.
Whenever these horrific incidents happen, what do we hear from these politicians, the usual "We are condemning it". Majority of the two PPs (Politicians, Police) are corrupt. We have a home minister in the state who takes bribes of Rs 6 crores for a DGP or Commisioner position.
Rather than taking a proactive stance, these guys feel sorry only after the blasts have taken place and innocent lives are lost. These politicians have security cover around them. They are well protected by the security. But what about the security of the common people.
The things that are to be blamed are
1. Political culture
2. Religious ideologies

People have to shun the bad religious hate ideologies.
