Mr. Prashant Bhushan, beside Anna Hazare |
On the one hand we are against physical attacks, like the one on
Prashant Bhushan, whatever the provocation. But, unfortunately, the
Prasanth Bhushans and Arundathi Roys of the world evoke such extreme
reactions from common people owing to their "cynical", "short sighted"
and "sadistic" views on critical issues related to national security.
These so called upholders of secularism seem to have no time for the
thousands of army, para military and police personnel who have laid down
their lives, in the line of duty, fighting insurgents and
anti-nationals, be it Maoists or Kashmiri terrorists. After all, these
army/paramilitary/police personnel are ordinary citizens of this
country, like all of us common people, simply discharging their duties
in defense of the country and honestly earning their daily bread. Have
any one of these pseudo secularists ever visited and comforted the
bereaved families of such brave hearts ?
