Frustrating!

In Kashmir, targeted killings are taking place almost every day. The terrorists' targets seemed to be the poor migrant labourers from other states. The administration seems to be momentarily on pause, struggling to find a suitable counter action. Let's not forget the fact that the professional security forces will always be at a disadvantage while tackling cold-hearted terrorists who have no loyalties, no ethics and do not play by the rules!

But what amazes me is that why aren't the following happening:-

   * Why isn't the society reacting to the ghastly killings?

   * Why are the ladies in the families keeping quiet? 

   * The life in Kashmir has been improving, economy was on an upward trend with businesses slowly

      picking up.

   * More and more people from outside the state were coming into the area to do work.

   * Development of the state, be it the railways or the road network and trade has picked up at a rapid

      up at a rapid pace.

Consequently, who are unhappy?

   * The Pakistanis because that country, by itself, is disintegrating. It has reached a point of no return.

      They are jealous of India and its pace of progress on all fronts.

   * The 'Gupkar' alliance that have been sidelined completely.

   * The opposition doesn't want to accept the fact that the government has initiated the right steps.

And see the consequences.

   * Saifuddin Soz had said, a few days back, that the government must talk to the terrorists.

   * The idiot, Farooq Abdullah - he has no loyalty towards India. Why is he allowed to have an Indian

      passport? He has made the most number of anti-national statements.

   * Mehbooba Mufti makes atrocious statements from time to time.

These people have been given a long rope and need to be dealt with, forthwith. They have to be punished for their anti-national outlook and must not enjoy the benefits that this country provides to its citizens.

Tailpiece.

Got up at a quarter past 6, the chores and was ready by a quarter past 10.
