In yet another terrorist attack in Mumbai - this time being a hostage situation in South Mumbai. From what the news channels and the portals claim it seems to be an organised plot by Lashkar-e-Tayyabba (LeT).
And the target is the rich, affluent class of people specifically the foreigners holding USA and UK visa passports. It is very strange and difficult to understand what is the objective of the attack - apart from spreading panic, chaos and causing discomfort.The 5-star hotels at the Gateway of India Taj, Trident and Oberoi were the targets of the terrorists.
The attacks started at around late 9:30pm in Taj and it is suspected that the terrorists came in a boat and entered the Taj from the back route. There is not much clarity about the back route though.
The surprising part is that the Chief Minister of Maharashtra was nowhere in sight / available during the emergency. Infact no traces of the "Mr. fiery-speeches" MNS leader as well. There is very little difference between the terrorist attacks in Mumbai today and the MNS attacks on people, public transport and public places. And the difference is that the terrorists are getting killed but the MNS people are free to go.
We all are still waiting for the "saviour of Mumbai" to come out and do something. Infact, there is no news from the Sena team as well. All seem to quiet and playing a wait n watch game. They are all waiting to point finger as to how the situation was not handled properly and how it could have been managed well if they would have been there.
To be honest, when such terror strikes - people from all the religions and caste unite to fight against EXCEPT the politicians who try to gain political mileage by playing stupid games to come in power. End of the day the loser is the common man...!!
