Surprise Surprise, cricket has been targeted by terrorists and that too in Asia. Well, Pakistan is in deep trouble. That one window of international co-operation is also out. Also, Indian Govt, congrats, good decision. If that had been the Indian team, the congress party would have been forced to send the army(defying all logic) or else kiss the cup of power good by for a 100 years. Cricket is that dear to Indians I believe.
But that apart. There have been mention of Mumbai style attacks and same group may be involved and all. I am not concerned about that. It may or may not be. But for it proves something more. That Taliban 's strong not just there in FATA but across Pakistan. I had, I think made blog entry mentioning about an article i read about how terror groups are spreading from Frontier areas to the heart of Pakistan, especially into Lahore and how they are amassing weapons. I think that was written by TIME. Well, who ever wrote it, it has been proved correct.
It also has turned out to be huge embarrassment for ISI. They can no longer control their children. There is also another school of thought, that has not been highlighted by the main stream media. A logic that, well with least probablity, the whole attack has been back or initated by ISI. Well, don't laugh. There is one thing ISI can achieve with this. This will give strength to the Pakistani voice saying that they too are victims of terror. There could have been no better instance to sound that to the International community. I really don't believe that and think that as a version of Pakistan haters. But what if thats true?
Anyway, i feel I agree with Pranab Mukerjee for saying that Pakistan is reaping the results of not dismantilings the terror network in its soil. As per sharia law i hear, i mean the taliban version of sharia, there can be no entertainment. So cricket, the biggest entertainment of Pakistan comes to a stop. More of Pakis are gonna keep away from cricket for lack of opprtunites and more opprtunity for the jihadi groups to recruit more youngsters.
India, is in a precarious situation. We should be declared the world's unsafest country. With Pakistan on the west, LTTE and Sri Lanka game on south, Bangla mutiny and China in the east. We are screwed big time. This proves that my call to strengthen internal security and have a systematic process in place rather than attacking other countries like Pakistan to be correct. We can't fix up South Asia, we don't have the financial, military or diplomatic power.
I think now IPL is a real target for terror attacks. India needs to stregthen its Intgelligence networks and inter security system. Strengthen does not mean add more security checks. It means strong intelligence network, better ground intelligence collection and ensuring proper implementations of protocols in security checks. Pakistan has been rightly termed as Somalia of South Asia by Congress Party.
