Salute the Heores!!

First of all am ashamed of the politicians of this country, the government of this country for putting the country under siege. I was frozen in shock when I heard the news about terrorists attack in Mumbai at the major posh places like The Taj Mehel Hotel, Oberoi/Trident and the jewish apartment in The Nariman House and in that rickety situation, I immediately called my brother who’s working in Mumbai to make sure he was fine and was happy further on to hear that he had left to Kolkata that nite, for a transaction. For a city like Mumbai, which is so active and lively when it comes to work or be it anything, this must be traumatic. It's almost like the city that never sleeps has gone into deep slumber. Though they were many blasts that happens almost every one or two years, to my perception this will remain a black day, War on Mumbai. If the government really wishes to do something to the innocent public, they should look at this issue as a serious one and work their heads on for tightening the security. Despite the security, around 20 terrorists have managed to enter the city and blew it to ashes. Where is the nation heading?? What kind of country are we living in? When a family decides to have a happy dinner out at a restaurant, are they required to be extra cautious of what is gonna happen? Atrocious. If the government is not even in a position to provide the basic security to the people, then whats the point on relying on them?? A two year old baby is pushed to orphanage, as his parents and grandparents are shot dead at The Nariman House. The most heart breaking was that, today was the child's birthday. The government need not gift him though. All what politicians can do is to blame each other on such a crisis. They cannot even stand united, when there is in need of it. The opposition and the ruling party came in separately to convey their commiseration. What more can we expect out of these politicians. As the situation ran out of control, the centre pulled in the National Security Guard (NSG) and the army. Six army columns were pressed into action apart from 200 NSG personnel. Those who have always been the heroes of the nation led from the front, evacuating 200 persons out of the Taj Hotel and 70 out of Oberoi/Trident Hotel. Also they were combating inside the hotel in flushing out the terrorists. All these NGS and army are from different parts of the country, now where is Raj Thackeray?? To him, a team of 6 bodyguards from South Africa who have come here on a vacation, was in the in a restaurant in the Taj hotel and drinking soup at the top of the hotel. The moment they heard the gun fire, they immediately reacted and helped in evacuating 150 people who were there in the vicinity. The guards, armed only with knives and meat cleavers, helped other hotel guests to safety down a fire escape. They carried a traumatised old woman in a chair down 25 flights of stairs. I was moved by their wonderful gesture. Hats off heroes!! And not to forget the heroes of our own country, many who have lost their lives for this nation. My heartfelt thanks, to army and the NSG, for such a wonderful effort and also, my deepest condolences to those families for an indispensable loss. 12 policemen were killed, including Hemant Karkare, chief of the police anti-terrorist squad in Mumbai, who was recently blamed by Narendar Modi for his performace. May, the dead rest in peace. Politicians have to realize that its not the time to blame each other and it’s the time to understand the situation and act as one nation. By understanding it doesn’t mean that u have to declare a bandh, which is appallingly so insignificant. Tonite we owe a great deal to the heroes of our nation for an unforgettable gesture in saving hundred of lives risking their own life. Hats off!! Enough is enough. May, the city of Mumbai rest in peace.
