He is to be blamed for his own mistakes.
Well written! It’s really chalta hai all the time, in all states.
I am so disappointed at the handling of this tragedy :
1. Projection of normalcy is more important than ensuring security
2. Lie at the all party meeting that baisaran was opened without approval on April 20 when it has been open all year round for a few years now. And if indeed April 20, terrorists must be like supernova, recceing in 2 days and that’s all they need to execute.
3. Modi’s absence in all party meeting was terrible. Bihar projects and elections more important than pahalgam? Are people of Bihar so insensitive that they won’t understand if PM has to alter his plans and be absent or do it later or do it remotely?
4. Why did modi scream from Bihar? He should have been in Pahalgam or at the very least Srinagar. Same message delivered from the soil of Kashmir would have had so much more impact. RaGa is a moron but at least he did what I expected out of the PM, visit Srinagar and spend time with the injured, visit the family of our deceased Kashmiri friend who died trying to save the others.
5. Resignation? Huh! Forget it. No politician resigns these days. Amit Shah should have, Ashwini Vaishnaw should for the rail accidents. Mamata banerjee should have resigned 3x by now. But all they are interested in is keeping power and minting money.
Pleasantly surprised and happy with Mr. Owaisi and Omar Abdullah’s gestures. They have shown more maturity, tact and sensitivity than the rest of our political leadership together.
