WHAT SUSHMA SWARAJ SAID IS OUT OF THE BOX THINKING !

It took guts to say what she has said as the person who advised her to do so on his behalf is being too cautious to preserve a benign facade as he hungrily eyes the Prime Minister's chair. Usually, out of the box thinking leads to solutions to seemingly unsolvable problems says De Bono the world renouned propounder of original thinking. That is why blaming the Lashkar-e-Tayeba or Al Qaeda everytime there is a blast is taking the easy way out of any responsibility by an acknowledged soft State. It makes life easy for the security agencies as well as the government. It is the appeasement policy of the Nehruvian mindset that has over the years helped the so-called "sleeper cells" or sympathizers within India to graduate to the Indian Mujahideen today.

Earlier, the alien inimical forces took help from these local Indian sympathizers for all logistical help as they were strangers to a unknown place. Now the locals are bold enough to operate on their own, thanks to the spineless policies of the government which equates sympathy for terrorists with vote bank interests. That is why a condemned Afzal Guru is still being fed biriyani and treated like a honoured son-in-law in jail.

The next logical step is that the creater of this Frankenstein will hope to control the monster on a lease and use it for his own nefarious activities to instill fear in his opponents. Gen Zia of Pakistan created the Islamic terrorists with the help of the ISI and today they call the shots not in Pakistan alone but in entire South Asia which even stretches to Chechnya and Xinjian in China.

Terrorist groups like the ULFA of Assam and other outfits have always received patronage from many State governments over the years because of which the Indian Army has repeatedly failed to wipe them out. Even the violent Naxalites have their allies within mainstream political parties who wish to take on others with the former's guns and fire power following the "enemy's enemy is a friend" policy. The CPI(M) in West Bengal is such a target of those who are dreaming of coming to power after throwing out the Left front government.

So why can't another political party help to create the Indian Mujahideen for its own political use all over India for political intimidation of opponents whom they wish to replace in the States that are ruled by the opposition? It sounds shocking now because it is a brand new idea. But we will soon get used to the idea as the thought begins to take hold arising out of repetition and emerging evidence over time.
