POTA is not enough. You can fight "Fidayeens" with POTA. The Fidayeens dont remain alive long enough for the laws to be applied on the them. Its no use just having "laws"....against suicide bombers.
The fact remains that none of us have even started fighting terrorists. All that cheap rhetoric about WOT and GWOT is all plain BS. The terrorists are thriving like ever before.
To *FINISH* terrorism we have to hit them in places where they come from....where they are born. You know what I am talking about ???
If our (Indian) government is serious about finishing terrorism (beyond the mere rheoteric), then we(and our government) have make up our mind ........that someday we have to do it.......
What I mean is we would have to take some calculated risk (of nuclear exchange). It will be a gamble but thats what we will need to do to *FINISH* terrorism once and for all. It will have to be a war on the enemy's turn. Burning up the holes from where the breed. And we are not doing that. We are fighting everywhere but where it matters most. The enemy chooses the time and place to strike us. This has to change. We have to choose the time and place to strike them. And strike them we must. Not with POTA but with PGMs.
It will have to be a war on the enemy's *turf*.
Yep,I totally agree with Gengis-as long as the source of India's troubles stay external,any law will have zilch effect.For every 5 terrorists POTA stops,1 may get through-that's a universal fact & nothing can be done about it other than hitting the places of origin.
Besides Any anti-terror law will become a political football in the hands of the True secularists like Mulayam & Laloo & the vintage nationalists like Modi.
