Intelligence Failure

Even after six months of the IISc incident and after 3 days of the Mumbai bomb blasts, there is nothing substantial on the ground that the police has to show. The only official line that we keep hearing is that the needle of suspicion points towards Pakistan. What I would like to ask the Government of India is - why not lodge an FIR against General Pervez Musharraf in Srinagar or Bandra police station, arrest him and try him out for all the hand grenade attacks, bombings and tourist killings in India.

If that cannot be done, the people grabbing seats of power in police and in government, especially the ones sitting in the Home Ministry should stop blowing their own trumpets and concentrate on catching the real culprits. The people of India are tired of being misled and of all the inconclusive cases right from blasts of 1993 to these ghastly blasts in Mumbai.

There is surely an intelligence failure. Either there are no intelligent people left in the in system or there have failed miserably.
