KOI SUN RAHA HAI KYA ???

This is the question a common man rhetorically asks to himself , to his soul and yes to some deaf who unfortunately are in power….

Ho sakta hai yeh koi sochi samjhi saadish ka nateeza hai “ quipped Advani after brazen carried out blasts.

“We request the state to maintain peace and harmony in time of distress” said another hotshot politico…

P.M. considered it to be a bit too infra-dig to comment upon it.

I was waiting to hear it , the wait carried on and on . In a bid to hear it I had to tolerate the soporific power of some of these speeches.

Finally, even after skimming through the reactions of almost all politicians, I couldn’t find it…..

Maybe I expected a bit too much from our politicians. What I expected from them was at least a word to the perpetrators, a speech spitting venom and vengeance, and a formidable action plan to ward off such heinous crimes .

Although Narendra Modi said “ Perpetrators will be exhumed and will be strictly dealt with “. But is it enough ?? He didn’t even adumbrate his plan ( if at all ).

My ears yearned for more and instead what I got was some commiserative remarks ……

My brain longed for a solution and what it chugged out is a set of confounding questions.

What has INDIA become ???

Has it been relegated to “ A Soft- Target “ ??

Can Terrorists strike at will with impunity ??

Will INDIA implode ?

Who will come to our rescue when our “honorable” leaders are too busy either in basking in their victory or brooding over the defeat in Confidence motion ???
Yeah the next question inevitably is :

Who will mourn over the loss of a common man ?
