Raman, sorry to say you are actually diluting the miserable failure of Congress by comparing the two incidents Kandahar and Parliament attack in BJP regime to Congress's impotency to handle 68 TERRORIST attacks in the past 5 years. Kandahar was out of India.
Please also understand that India comprises of 83% Hindus and the soft peddling appproach adopted by Congress since the past 60 years of monarchy rule in India is the cause of this pathetic plight that most Indians find themselves in.
I am not surprised that a family which cannot really be called a Hindu family as the lineage is all mixed up has no sympthay left for Hindus. They are flagarantly supportive of the minority co they are not Gandhis but Khans. Rajiv Khan, Sanjay Khan, and Rahul Khan as the father of Rajiv and Sanjay is a Muslim.
The torture of Hindus and the masses will ened when this family and this party goes into extinction before they sell out India to the Arab world and America.
Our nation can only be led by a patriotic party like BJP. RSS itsels is a culmination of the seeds of fanatacism sown by the Moghals.
So please Raman stop licking the boots of Congress and give your tired brains a rest. Write unbiased articles if you have to otherwise the corrupt English print and electronic media has amply exposed itself in this election.
Has B Raman forgotten the number of bomb blasts between 2004 and 2009. Few days back, he wrote Congress was not taking action in Assam only to appease minorities. He also criticized detention of Pragya Singh and claimed there was no evidence against her
Now, he is praise for Chidambaram who even botched up a simple DNA test. His incompetence and callousness is evident
B Raman realizes that Congress and its pseudosecular Mullah appeasing allies will return to power. So, he wants to remain in the good books of the ruling combination
Hello Mr Raman, You cannot compare BJP to Congress. Yes, they are the biggest national parties but BJP has not even served the nation for 5 years. Congress is Ruling the nation from last 60 years. Please do not compliment congress by comparing it with the policies of BJP.

BJP led NDA govt showed the results of fight against terrorism in 2/3 years by adopting globally accepted anti-terror measures.
Congress first of all created terrorism and then undid the efforts of NDA govt.
I have high regards for B Raman. But feel he is unfair to BJP/NDA's achievement in this article.
not very good though... I do not understand a few things........
1. why kandhar incident is taken as a weak decision? I mean there are thousands of terrorists out there. what if three more were release to save 200 people's lives? when terrorists got bombs, and when they are inside a plane, which have windows on both sides, and it is standing on an open runway, I just do not see any possiblity of any commondo action which will save the lives of 200 people inside the plane.
2. Please read BJP's menifesto for this election, it includes many feasible points to counter terrorism including POTA. and yes POTA is important. It is the law which deters people from helping terrorists.
3. after so many terrorist attacks, MMS not even once have said that he will have a zero tolerance policy for terrorism. while he has repeated a thousand times that he will have a zero-tolerance policy against minority youth's harassment.

Krishna , so answers to your questions : 1. Kandhar : Have you ever heard of enttabbe ? ALso , plane actualy landed in AMritsar and our strong home minister was unable to keep it grounded in Amritsar . 2. Pota : how many people have been arrested in POTA ? well mate any which way , pota is already a law so what is BJP trying to do by putting in menifesto? 3. Saying zero tolerance is nothing .. you have to show . WHich MMS duly did in mumbai .
SO i think you have not understood BJPs gameplan .
Mr. Raman has consistently shown that he is one of the best analysts when it comes to defense and security related issues. This article succinctly captures the issue terrorism and how it is being handled by the politicians in the country.
The article rightly points out how the NDA govt frankly had no choice but to release the terrorists at Kandahar, and how the comparison between sending commandos in Mumbai and the Kandahar incident are completely foolish. Hopefully this is a message all Indians can understand when they decide whom to cast their vote for.

I too agree with Ramans contention that " Both BJP and congress have been inept in handling terror .SO people should vote keeping this in mind .
Anti hindu lobby (Muslim christian vote) 22% Researved Hindu's 22% Real estate big contract money contribution 10% -------------------------- total 54% Result : price hike of commodities by november 2009 40% Reservation for dalit christians Caste based riots 100% antihinu riots 70% Terrorism 300% Proverty increase 90% Fuel hike 50%
money to media 1000% awards to influential people 200% ------------------- opposition to Congress none
GREAT A GREAT FAMILOCRACY Thanks to failure of electrolal policy of other parties
this article is too long widing and fails to hold interest .it could have been shortened with few apropriate phrases.both congress and bjp being failures in controlling terrorism is a matter of debate as it is easy to criticise when you are not in the position to take instant decision where every moment counts.of courseshivraj patil was a complete failure.
As Modi said UPA is handling Pakistan with kid gloves post Mumbai attacks they must be taught a lesson in a language it understands. Unless we reply to Pakistan in the language it understands, terrorism will not be wiped out from India and the UPA is incapable of doing this 26/11 happened because of the UPA's "ineffectiveness". The government compromised on national security because of their vote bank politics, "26/11 was a war on India, but our government sends letters to Pakistan and Pakistan has the audacity to respond with 30 questions." "Give Modi those questions and I will teach the government how to respond," Questioning Manmohan Singh's leadership capabilities, he claimed that not a single Congressman in the country says that Manmohan Singh is their leader
B Raman is unfair to the BJP led NDA governments achievements against terrorism. NDA govt had brought decline in the terrosim which was clearly visible during the later part of the NDA rule. Various anti-terror measures of NDA govt had started showing the results. Nobody had questioned the governments achievements againsts terrorism - except for the misuse of POTA which deserves a separate debate.
B Raman is attributing a large part of NDA's success to Dr Manmohan Singh. The fact is that terrorism got a fresh lease of life with UPA govt taking charge in 2004. There was virtually no action against various attacks during UPA rule.
NDA had lost in 2004 on the issue of poverty. Irony is that terrorism was no more a major issue as people thought it was behind us.
