தில்லி: "ஏன்" என்று கேட்பது முட்டாள்தனம்
தில்லி குண்டு வெடிப்புகளுக்குக் காரணம் யாரென்பது நிரூபணமாகவில்லை. இருப்பினும், நடந்த இடங்கள் (சந்தைகள்), விதம் (நாட்டு வெடிகுண்டுகள்), சமயம் (இந்து பண்டிகைக்கு சில நாட்களுக்கு முன்பு) ஆகிய முத்திரைச் சின்னங்களைக் கொண்டு பார்க்கையில் இது அல் கைதா சிந்தனைச் சந்தாதாரர்களால் நடத்தப்பட்டவை என்பதில் எனக்கு ஐயமில்லை.
இது போன்றதொரு பயங்கரவாதச் செயல் நிகழும் போது, எங்கே, எப்படி, யாரால், எவ்வளவு மரணங்கள் ஆகிய கேள்விகளின் பின் வெகு சீக்கிரம் வருவது ஏன் என்ற கேள்வி. ஏன் இப்படிச் செய்தார்கள், காரணம் என்ன, ஏதாவது மந்திரி அசட்டு பிசட்டென்று எதையாவது சொல்லி விட்டாரா, நாட்டின் ஏதாவது மூலையில் அசம்பாவிதம் நிகழ்ந்து அதன் பின் விளைவா, ஏதாவது முட்டாள் நீதிபதி தப்பித்தவறி தீவிரவாதிகளுக்கு தண்டனை கொடுத்து விட்டாரா, என்ன நடந்தது, அவர்கள் கோபித்துக் கொள்ளும்படியாக என்ன செய்து விட்டோம் என்று மாய்ந்து மாய்ந்து சிந்திக்க வைக்கும் கேள்வி.
இந்த முறையும் கேட்கப்படும்.
ஆனால், இன்று தில்லியில் நிகழ்ந்தவை, அவை குறித்து "ஏன்" என்று கேட்பதின் முட்டாள்தனத்தை அம்பலப்படுத்தியிருக்கிறது. ஏனெனில் எந்த விதத்திலுமே நியாயப்படுத்த முடியாத சம்பவம் இது. பொது இடத்தில் அப்பாவி ஜனங்களை குண்டு வைத்துக் கொல்வதற்கு எந்த ஒரு நியாயமான காரணமும் இருக்க முடியாது என்பது எனது தனிப்பட்ட கருத்து. இருப்பினும், ஜனநாயக நாட்டில் மக்கள அனைவருமே அரசாங்கத்தின் தவறுகளுக்குப் பொறுப்பு என்றெல்லாம் சொல்பவர்கள் கூட, இந்தச் சம்பவத்திற்குக் காரணியாக எந்த ஒரு நிகழ்வையும் சுட்ட முடியாது.
1. இந்து ஆதரவுக் கட்சி/இஸ்லாமிய விரோதக் கட்சி என்று காணப்படும் பாஜக கட்சி ஆட்சியிலில்லை; அதன் உட்கட்சிச்சீர் குலைந்து அலங்கோலத்தில் இருக்கிறது.
2. காஷ்மீர் நிலநடுக்கத்திற்கு இந்திய அரசாங்கம் தன்னால் முடிந்த அளவிற்கு, உடனடியாக, பிற மாநில/பிற அசம்பாவிதங்களுக்குச் செய்ததில் எந்த விதத்திலும் குறைவில்லாமல் மீட்பு நடவடிக்கைகளை மேற்கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
3. இந்திய சமூகத்தினின்றும் நிலநடுக்கத்தால் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்கு ஏராளமாக ஆதரவு திரண்டிருக்கிறது, திரண்டு கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
4. பாகிஸ்தானில் இருக்கும் பாதிக்கப்பட்டவர்களுக்கும் இந்தியா பல விதங்களில் உதவி இருக்கிறது - பணம், உணவு, பொருட்கள் என. எல்லைக்கோட்டின் திறப்பு பற்றி பேச்சு வார்த்தை நடந்து கொண்டிருக்கிறது.
5. காஷ்மீர் முதலமைச்சர் பதவி, பேச்சு வார்த்தைகளுக்குப் பிறகு அமைதியான முறையில் கைமாறப் போகிறது.
இத்தனைக்கும் நடுவில் இத்தகைய குண்டுவெடிப்புகள் நடக்கின்றன என்றால், அதன் மூலங்களை ஆராயும் முயற்சி போல ஒரு கால விரயம் இல்லை.
இந்தியா இப்பொழுது செய்ய வேண்டியது, தனது குடிமக்களை கவனமாக இருக்கும்படி அறிவுறுத்துவதும், தற்காப்பு ஏற்பாடுகளை பலப்படுத்துவதும்தான்.

best protection will come only when a war against Pakistan is
won.Pakistan should be taught a lesson and if necessary should be
divided in to two or more nations
and their nuclear capabilities should be eliminated. India should
do this as Pakistan is fermenting
trobule when the quke had affected people in Kashmir.
திட்டமிட்ட செயலை விட இவர்கள் மனப்பிறழ்வு நிலையில் இருந்தால் தான் இது போன்ற ஈன காரியங்களைச் செய்ய முடியும்.

The Indian army, operating under the Jammu and Kashmir Disturbed Areas Act and the Armed Forces (Jammu and Kashmir) Special Powers Act, continued to conduct cordon-and-search operations in Muslim neighborhoods and villages, detaining young men, assaulting other family members, and summarily executing suspected militants. Many Kashmiri civilians were killed or injured as a result of being caught in a crossfire between soldiers and militants, or in skirmishes and shelling between Indian and Pakistani troops across their countries' common border, known as the Line of Control.
