Anger in the wake of terror attacks

Yes, we are angry. Yes, one feels cheated. Cheated by the very establishment, that we believe works for us. Every one is rightfully raising their voice. At every gathering, at every meeting, you see people venting their anger, against the system, against democracy, against politicians and finally against Pakistan.

Media channels have fuelled the anger without channelizing them in the right way. Today, I heard a BJP person quoted on TV and saying, “enough it enough, there is a need to take steps to avenge the attacks on our people and democracy…” Obviously he was pointing at Pak.

I am not sure if this is what we should be focussing on. We need to get our energies diverted towards building India rather than trying to hit out at Pakistan. Incidentally, this may be one of the key objectives of the terrorist organizations.
