Editor,
Just a single bomb blast in a remote West Bengal village killing a few bomb-makers, immediately the saffronites would demand resignation of Mamata Banerjee and imposition of President’s rule!
But when infinite times more horrific incidents plague the “Double-engine” regions, the administration/administrator must get absolute “clean-chit” as “tragedy shouldn’t be politicised”!
Never should accountability be demanded from them, the buck stops at the door of whom!
So without questioning why Pulwama-Galwan-Pahalgam-New Delhi mayhem continue to happen (despite rhetoric of “ending terrorism” through 2016 DEMON-ETISATION or 2019 Kashmir saga); all must deliver choicest abuses towards a particular region, religion and country only and thereafter rejoice amidst the “muscular operations” of “Revenge”!
We must only count the real or imaginary numbers of “enemies” killed in retaliation, never mind the precious lives of how many of our very own (civilians to Jawans, tourists to pony-operators) get terminated prematurely in the first place!
And yes, relentless failures must also be “rewarded” through more votes and popularity!
