Are our politicians more inclined to vote than tackling terror???

It is business as usual for our politicians. On Thursday, it seemed India 's worst terror strike in Mumbai may actually unite our politicians, when the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh asked BJP leader L K Advani to accompany him to Mumbai. But,  both sides said that scheduling problems and election campaigning ruled it out. That meant two separate VIP contingents and a tough task for security Forces.

By Friday morning, the BJP had waited long enough. With elections in Delhi and Rajasthan, advertisements in dailies talked of terror. Advani used Mumbai to promote his cause, Modi was sent to Mumbai to add fuel to the fire by saying the central government was soft on terror and the PM speech to nation was diaappointing. His speech was made before Nariman house were the rescue operations were going on...Mr.Modi also announced Rs 1 crore for the ATS chief's family.These things were clearly a political move and was unwarranted in the situation were hostages were fighting for their lives..Instead Modi was fighting for his saffron party..

Now, in Mumbai and the rest of India, there's a feeling of public anger over the rhetoric made by the politicians. People have asked what politicians are doing. A SMS circulating whole of India asks where Raj Thackeray and his men were, that it's National Security Guard (NSG) commandoes from across India who are putting their lives for the sake of Mumbai's residents. 

It's time for united political action and not the politics of divide and rule.
