Terrorism

Terrorism is defined as "The unlawful use or threatened use of force or violence by a person or an organized group against people or property with the intention of intimidating or coercing societies or governments, often for ideological or political reasons". The recent spate of terrorist attacks on different parts of the country point to the intention of this problem creators to damage the secular fabric of the country. The Attack is extremely despicable and highly deplorable.The reasons whatever they give cannot be justified because it is only innocent people who loss their lives. What is though important is for the government that how come day by day more people are getting brainwashed and creating problems. Economic and social apartheid are some of the major reasons which leads to disillusion and disenchantment and thus eventually these are the people who are vulnerable to all these brainwashing. It is high time that all parties across the political spectrum realize this and form a common strategy to weed out terrorism in this country from its roots.Any special Anti terror act wont do any good because it just would be a medicine giving temporary relief but having far more side effects.The implementation of POTA did not decrease terrorism by any count.It was in fact misused in many cases as detailed by civil right activists like Harsh Mander and Teesta Setalvaad. We have to look at other options before things go out of control.
