We are so used to off being attacked. Nothing new...we'll go ahead same way. Some gunned person keep on roaming in the any city, they can kill anybody!!! Police says what????
“we were not asked for security " ( in context of International conference at IISC, where hundreds of scientists from all over the world were present, but luckily the terrorists just fired from outside and run away without entering the hall. They could have done anything!!!)
And what police commissioner says:
" We need lacs of police guards to provide security everywhere"
WOW. What a great excuse....then why after each such event there is a lot of police at the place ( I guess just to show that they exist!!! And they wait the terrorist to come again and say ..we did that...take us ….silly!!!)
Prof. M.C. Puri, an retired professor from IIT was shot dead and another two scientists get injured. One thing is noticeable , now technical (rather intellectual) people are being targeted. This means that corruption and terror has taken over all the aspects of our life. Everyday somebody somewhere is attacked. And what is the first response of government..." One committee will be setup to look in to issue. This is probably work of Lashkar-e-Toeba (or some terrorist group)."
And done...now after few weeks similar incident will happen at some other place. Again same statements will come.
I think we are getting so insensitive about all these.
May be I am diverting the discussion or diversifying covering three points:
One, Our cities are not at all secure, two, Government just want an issue and don't do anything and third, we ,the people are least concerned about all until it happens to us!!!
Means all this is ridiculous, we are so busy in our daily work and life that we don’t even bother what happened. And what to say about police, some people are roaming with AK 47 and grenades in the City and police can’t help?
What kind of security is available to the organizations like IISC that is the Hub of Science and Technology in India? We are in the race of having institutes of the level of MIT and what we are doing do sustain that, nothing!!!
Motive of this incident is not clear, it seems that attackers has no clear plan, they just wanted to tell that they have reached to Bangalore also and can do anything anytime. And with the level of security and consciousness we have, they can anytime come and take whole IISC under their control making the most intellect people of India their Hostage and ask for anything? What our government is going to do then? Why we always make so much fuss about after something happens….we don’t do anything to avoid it. This incident would have been avoided by a simple security measure. There should have been a proper checking of any unknown vehicle entering IISC campus. But it was not done...no fear we have… we welcome terrorists showing loop holes of our system and than say “ We love peace and its sad that terrorism is targeting us.”
And that love to peace is not helping us. Come on, I would like to say that our government doesn’t value us. They are responsible for life of each of us…for every tax payer. So please, instead of making just issues…do something!!!
And such kind of unfortunate events are possible only when at lower level there is no security protocol. Otherwise how such weapons came and people get some vehicle in the city and no body has any clue about them. And they went into IISC and no body even bothered who is inside. We just need to be careful and awake and take over all these small problems else this hip will drown just because of few small holes. Not because holes are there, but no body tried to close them!!!
