July 13, 2011 has witnessed 13th blast at Mumbai in 18 years! Isn’t it little surprising? Thanks to the visionary Dawood Ibrahim, Mumbai witnessed first bomb blast in 1993 and till then he rules on Mumbai, either directly or indirectly. Since then, areas in Mumbai have become hub for testing intensity of Bombs. Mumbaikar’s have become resilient, or may be choice less but to accept the fate. The curious me tried to weed out reasons of Why Mumbai?
The very reason why Mumbai is famous is the reason why Mumbai is most susceptible for such attacks. Mumbai is economic capital of India. If you want to hurt India, if you want to hurt governance, if you want to attack on Indian economy – you have Mumbai. It is one city that does transactions of billions dollar every single day. So, if you want to attack – it’s better to attack on spine. Mumbai is covered with Oceans on three sides. I don’t doubt on the efficiency of Indian Navy, and Indian coast guards, but infiltrations cannot be avoided. Anyone can come anytime by Air or water route. Land route is always a safe haven for anytime incoming and outgoing. One cannot have a metal detector on every road, every street?
I was watching television and someone beautifully said while discussing on blast episodes – It is our problem only. If we cannot send 543 clean people to Indian Parliament, if we cannot choose countable no. of politicians to rule us at center or state – how can we avoid terrorists coming to our land and kill us? All powerful politicians have criminals support and all criminals are sheltered by politicians. So when governance has locked hands with militants, what to expect? And why expect anything from Government? All parties have their criminals and terrorists as pets. Which one to believe?
Well I leave these questions for you to ponder upon and try to analyze involvements in this blast. The inquisitive me, it won’t be nice if I done write anything on such a burning issue. I surprised about the timing and location. First blast in Opera House, Second blast at Kabootarkhana, Dadar and Third Blast at Khaugali, Zhaweri Bazaar – finding integration is little difficult. I don’t find any pattern.
Suspect ONE as obvious would be Terrorists. We normally see what is shown to us; we normally read what is printed for us and listen to what is spoken to us. In short we think what is seeded in us. All government, political chair holders, media, police everyone has pinpointed the allegation and investigation on Indian Mujahhiddin, Lashkar-e-taiba, Pakistan, Afganistan Millitants. It is obvious on many counts. Terrorists have 13th connection. India has witnessed major explosions on 13th and 26th. All these involved those terrorists group taking responsibilities. Surprisingly no one has own the responsibility this time. It is said that the honorary Ajmal Kasab’s birthday is on July 13 – so it was a celebration to wish him Happy Birthday. Dude – dance @ Arthur Road Jail. Someone still misses you!
There have been some international developments recently. Indian government gave a warm gesture of friendly support to Afghanistan. We extend our support on supplying goods and medicines, medical teams for treatment, experts to help in rehabilitation, allowing import – export between two nation and also the peace army to restore the old beautiful Afghanistan. Obviously terrorist agencies working in Afghan territories will be unhappy, so retaliation from them is genuine.
One possibility also links Pakistan territory. Pakistan is on international pressure to curb terrorists and terrorism seeding and growing from their soil. Funding has already been curbed by various nations including USA. Added to the facts are Indian diplomats stern move to round off Pakistanis for provoking terrorism in India. Army (or Militant!) ruled Pakistan want to deviate World’s attention – they have done such things in past, by either bombing inside or outside Pakistan.
Suspect TWO could be opposition parties: I have a reason to believe it. Vilasrao Deshmukh was tainted – he was sent to Central Politics. Ashok Chavhan was tainted – he has been discharged from duties. Prithviraj Chavhan has a clean image and maintains a diplomatic path (under the aegis of Madamji). Everything is running smoothly in Maharastra. So, opposition has nothing to speak for, nothing to attack on and nothing to fight for, in the next election. Obviously National security and Mumbai’s security is of top priority, so if there are blasts in Mumbai – obviously Government is incapable of maintaining internal security. A common man will flow in the wind. If one government is failing to secure them – they grow hope with other government. They are helpless. They cannot do anything. A sheep can’t take care of herself – so the shepherd chooses a Dog to be leader of the sheep gang. Statements within 24 hours of blast by BJP, MNS – gives sufficient proof’s that they are least bothered with pain. BJP wants to make it a national issue. MNS wants non Marathi Maanus to leave Mumbai…! Third front is searching its lost land, so any small opportunity will be a big opportunity for them.
Suspect THREE could be the Ruling Party @ Center. I am citing it at last due to various reasons. No one will suspect UPA might have done this. As I spoke earlier, we think what is seeded in us. When media is in their grip, when channels are in their grip, when defense and security is in their grip – they can manipulate anything. If a blunt attack by Police forces in Ramleela ground, Delhi on June 4, under the direction of Home Ministry, is proved a correct political and national move – Government can do anything and change the direction of thinking.
I have some reasons to believe. Central government is always on axe by opposition parties on issues like corruption, corrupt ministers, being liberal on all issues, be it mercy petition of convicted prisoners, be it issue related to hanging Kasab, be it tax havens money whatever; government has always come on back seat. Recently Supreme Court of India has used hard and accusing words for Government in delaying the process of bringing Indians stashed money from abroad. Government wants a breather. She knows she has been caught from all directions. It wants to divert parties’ attention from local politics to global politics. UPA or for that matter Congress has always been doing it. Congress safely plays with any issue till the time it favors her politically or diplomatically. Once the issue starts back biting Congress, suddenly something else happens and all starts looking at other issues – leaving the current issue behind. Congress gets a breather and everything is put under the carpet.
Let us analyze very critically. The blast happened between 18:30 to 19:30 hrs. This was the time when whole Mumbaikar’s leave for their home. This is the time when whole Mumbaikar comes out from office, and do some shopping / snacks and call it a day. Blast at Kabootarkhana, the circle where 90 % of population either rush for taking train to western/central line or come for shopping at Dadar. Khau Gali – where people are gathered in large no for snacks and other shopping's; Opera House – known for diamond business – is always crowded for trades and transactions. Three bombs got blasted and death toll was only 17. I can’t buy it. It has only two meaning: Either the bomb planted was of low intensity – to ensure minimum damage, or purposely put to ensure maximum casualty and no death. In both cases, one message erupts clearly. Mumbai was vulnerable and Mumbai will remain Vulnerable. Unless system is clean, No one can claim its security. I sometimes question myself – Mumbai has witness 13 blasts - Why not a single MLA / MP / Minister died in either of the blasts. Why only common man suffers all the pain? And when will a common man retaliate? When will a common man go to Parliament or Assembly and blast ONE BOMB to ensure all Ministers die in a single shot? I am a dreamer, and I dream that that day will come! Because that seems, is the only way of waking Office bearers at Higher up.
