It has been close to 20 hours since the Mumbai has been under sieze and this is all ‘This Walking Zombie’ has to say.
Terrorists left before I arrived!
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,” Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said.
Pray tell us, What did the Zombie expect?
Terrorists to have waited for ‘him’ to arrive – all fully attired in a ‘Bund Gala Suit’ – there with a ‘bouquet of roses’ for him!
How many Times before have you heard the ‘Zombie’ mumble these very same inanities every time India is attacked… at least ‘I’ have lost the count.
Patil, who condemned the attack as an act of cowardice, said the country would remain strong even as the terrorists attempt to weaken and create difficulty for the citizens.
While I agree that this is no time to pick faults and point fingers at Individuals, yet those who are at the helms of affairs should be held accountable. They can not – just can not get away with inanities alone. Let me be clear.

Statement by Shri L.K. Advani
Leader of the Opposition (Lok Sabha)
New Delhi – 27 November 2008
- The terrorist attack on Mumbai is an audacious challenge to India’s Nation State.
- While maintaining calm and unity, we must all resolve to break the back of India’s enemies.
I am traumatized by the events in Mumbai since last night. Clearly, the terrorists have declared a full-scale war on India and sought to sever the country’s economic nerve with their meticulously planned carnage across the metropolis. The magnitude of their sinister design and determination is evident from the fact that they are yet to be fully overpowered. They are still holding people hostage in some leading hotels and private houses more than 12 hours after starting the onslaught on innocent people in various parts of the city.
No other city in our country has borne the brunt of terrorism so repeatedly and in so deadly a fashion as Mumbai. In earlier terrorist acts in Mumbai as well as in other places in India, outside Jammu & Kashmir, the attacks have been mostly in the form of bomb blasts by anonymous persons. For the first time, last night, terrorists have also resorted to indiscriminate firing at a crowded railway station, hospital, luxury hotels, cinema halls, and residential buildings. Also, for the first time, the fidayeen attackers have held foreigners as hostages. As many as 100 persons have been killed in this mayhem.
Last night’s terrorist attack using grenades, other explosives and AK47 rifles is in a very significant way a continuation of the first episode of serial bomb blasts in Mumbai on 12 March 1993.
It appears 26 November 2008 is a continuation of 13 March 1993.
In the context of what has happened last night in Mumbai, there is no doubt that both the UPA Government at the Centre and the CongressNCP coalition Government in Maharashtra have a lot to answer for. However, I shall not comment on this aspect now as today is not the occasion to do so.
Right now, the need of the hour is for the people of Mumbai, Maharashtra and the entire country to stay united and calm. Maintenance of peace, tranquility, communal harmony and patriotic unity must be our highest priority.
I spoke to the Prime Minister last night to express my concern as soon as I heard the news. Today morning he called me to suggest that both of us should travel together to Mumbai to examine the situation, express solidarity with the security forces and also try to provide succour to the victims of the tragedy. I have readily agreed to his proposal. Accordingly, I deferred my plan to leave for Mumbai immediately.
I pay homage to all the brave policemen and police officers who confronted the terrorists by risking their lives. In particular, I feel sad that Hemant Karkare, chief of the AntiTerrorist Squad (ATS), Maharashtra, senior police officers Ashok Kamte andVijay Salaskar have lost their lives in yesterday’s operation. Coming in the wake of the recent martyrdom of police officerMohan Chand Sharma in an encounter with terrorists in New Delhi, these acts of dedicated service and sacrifice have earned our security forces the gratitude of the nation.
It seems to me the attacks were precisely timed to coincide with the US Thanksgiving holiday, to no doubt strike fear into the hearts of American and citizens alike.

Your quote is superb:
“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,” Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil said.
Tells all.
India is at crossroads. Responsibility is on each one of us – not to allow stupid leaders get into the chair once again…
Both pictures attached here are wonderful…
Let us hope the morning brings a good day. People here and everywhere are exhausted of the things going on…
BTW, it was interesting to see that the ATS Chief died. Perhaps he was trying too hard to hone up his negotiation skills rather than keep up his fighting abilities… No insults to the slain man, but his and the govt sponsored torture of Sadhvi makes me comment so harsh.
Also, see how brave Mumbai Police is – they murdered a student Rahul Raj – in the name of finishing terrorism. And see what happens today. 100+ dead, and still counting.
We pay for their sins.
Hi PI,
I was wondering that can there be any possible link between the malegoan case probe against Sadhvi, Pragya and Lt. Col Purohit and these attacks as the ATS cheif Hemant Karkare was killed during initial hours of these attacks.
(To discourage further probe into this malegaon case???)
Please update any link you probably can identify.
PI,
thanks
kirti
PI thanks once again my heart is all mush………

Pakistan today backtracked on sending ISI chief Lieutenant General Shuja Pasha to India in connection with the probe into the terrorist attacks in Mumbai and instead deputed a representative of the spy agency for the task.
We need a new generation of leaders and not idiots like Rahul Gandhi born with silver foot in the mouth.
I would like to share ideas on how Indian politics should be reformed.

Patil ka naya bhai:
============
Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil on Saturday kicked off a row when he said “such small incidents happen” with reference to terror attacks in Mumbai.
“Such small incidents happen,” was what Patil, who also holds the home portfolio, told reporters, little realising his faux pas.
What led to the controversy are his remarks “bade shahron mein aise ek adh hadse hote rahte hain. Woh 5,000 logon ko marne aye the lekin humne kitna kum nuksan hone diya.

All Patils gone mad??????????? Where is Shivaji????????????
It is very dissapointing that something such as this had to happen in order to bring light to a problem such as laxed and unprepared security. A problem that has existed in Mumbai for quite some time and for tourist such as myself who frequent Mumbai often, we knew it was inevitable by looking at the many bombings that have occured there in India.
