India under Siege

At this moment I am sitting in front of the television and continuosly watching the hostage drama for past few hours. I am personally feeling really sad. NDTV is showing live that 2 people are standing in the hotel window frames and waving restlessly towards the crowd. They are requesting for help. One couple is standing helplesssly in the windows with words 'SAVE' scribed on the WINDOW glass. I can hear the gun shots being fired and people running in the background while Barkha Dutt is giving the live updates. There are news about blasts taking place inside the hotel. Feels like India is under Siege. I can imagine the state of mind of those who are stuck inside, their near and dear ones. What must be going through their minds? At this moment what I can do it just pray for them. My heart goes to all those 100+ who lost their lives, the 200+ people stuck inside the Oberoi, Taj hotel and Nariman house.

On one hand are these helpless innocent people who ar killed, scared. And on another hand are my favorite leaders busy delivering speeches.

I just heard my favorite leaders. The honorable home minister addressing the media and heard PM's public statement.

Mr. Shivraj Patil was very calm, composed and polite. Seems like he is ready with his post analysis.

Mr. Patil said "Before I could reach there, the terrorists who had attacked one of the hospitals, the Cama Hospital, had left and those who attacked the railway station had also left,". I sincerely wish the terrorists should have waited.

He also said “We are confident that we will be able to secure the freedom of the hostages at the earliest and teach a fitting lesson to the terrorists,”
“The terrorists have again challenged the nation by targeting the commercial capital of our country. We will meet this challenge resolutely and unitedly. We must convey a strong message to terrorists that we will not be cowed down by their senseless and dastardly acts,” Patil said.

This time the PM looked fully convinced about foreign hand involvement and mentioned that he would be raising the issue with our neighbour and reuest HIM Not to allow it's territory for such acts. great!. He also added that the attackers were "intent on creating a sense of panic by choosing high-profile targets”. PM is planning to use stringent security act if need arises.

I am quite confident that these kind of strong leaders/characters will certainly protect my country and my innocent fellow contry wmen men as they have been doing so far.

At this moment I am just praying. GOD BLESS INDIA!

Amen
