Presence of Al-Qaeda is a threat to entire humanity and India is no exception, as here in our country the terrorists have inflected enough damage to human life and property. Thus there is an urgent need to bring terrorists of all hues and particularly those who owe allegiance to Al-Qaeda under law and prosecute them for safety to human life and property, but it is very unfortunate and disturbing that whenever any effort is made by security forces to fight terrorists, great hue and cry is created by so-called secular brigade of country. This time also when some terrorists of banned Al-Qaeda were arrested by anti-terrorist squad in busy city of Lal Chowk, much noise is created by these anti-India forces. Al Ouida is a Sunni Islamist terrorist organisation founded in 1988 by dreaded terrorist Osama Bin Laden during Soviet-Afghan crises and has spread its tentacles in many countries of the world. India is also a victim of this terrorist organisation and thus all of us should cooperate with the Government to fight back this terrorist organisation for saving life and property of the people. Recently, ATS of Lucknow has apprehended two terrorists namely Massuri Din and Minhaj Ahmad and the hunt is going on for the other possible suspects in this regard, but so called secular left nexus is doing politics over this issue which is very unfortunate. Instead of resorting to politics we should support security forces who are securing our lives from these dreaded terrorists .However the way our opposition leaders are making politics over the matter is unbecoming for the nation and it should not happen. The two former Chief Ministers of UP have said that they have no trust on security forces and ATS of Lucknow. It is very unfortunate that the politicians are politicking on the important issue of terrorism. Akhilesh Yadav of SP, who was also the former Chief Minister of UP and Mayawati of BSP, also former Chief Minister of UP have reservations on arrest of the dreaded terrorists of Al-Qaeda. Instead of fighting menace of terrorist, leaders of SP, BSP as well as the grand old party Congress are politicising the issue of the arrest of terrorists of Al-Qaeda and The criticism of the crusade of security forces has diminished creditability of these political parties as they often level baseless charges on working of the security forces and openly say that they have no faith in security forces of UP, which is really a tragedy. Instead of providing a helping hand to Government, these political parties and satraps are habitual of leveling baseless charges on disciplined security forces. They should desist from doing cheap politics over the arrest of Al-Qaeda terrorists. The fact is that the security forces have recovered pressure cooker bomb from possession of arrested terrorists besides a large quantity of incriminating material. Not only this, but ATS of UP has also recovered maps of the important religious places like Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mathura and Kashi from their possession, which shows that these religious places were targets of these terrorists. As such, there should be no laxity in prosecution of arrested terrorists and no politics over the matter. It has also been revealed from their investigation that they were planning to execute terrorist acts before August 15 at places, which attract big crowds. It is good that our security forces have apprehended these terrorists and saved the life and property of people. There is double speak and contradiction in the criticism of these political parties, who are politicising the important issue of terrorism. On one side these politicians are making politics over arrest of the terrorists and on the other hand they are enjoying full security cover by these security forces. Is it not it self-contradiction and double speak of politicians? This double speak and contradiction should stop for good of country and instead the politicians of different parties should cooperate with the Government in fighting the terrorism, but it is irony that when security forces are fighting battle to apprehend terrorists, these leaders are busy in criticising disciplined security forces of country. But they should not forget that there are no takers of their narrow views and thus they should shun path of blind criticism of security forces and cooperate with Government to foil mischievous designs of Al-Qaeda, so that country is saved from these enemies of the humanity. The security forces have done a great job by arresting terrorists of the Al-Qaeda and foiled their plans of targeting crowded places and other religious places thereby saving lives of innocent people. Security forces deserve Kudos for their work. Any way, it can be concluded that the threat of the Al-Qaeda is looming large on country and so all political parties and the people should cooperate with the government to foil evil designs of the terrorists.
