Parliament Intrusion…. Security Lapse Or Political Misadventure
Manmohan Dhar
The intrusion into Parliament can be viewed through multiple lenses, making it a complex issue. It could be seen as a security lapse due to potential shortcomings in the security measures in place. Alternatively, it might also be interpreted as a political misadventure depending on the motivations and intentions of those involved in the intrusion.
The characterization of the incident could vary based on the circumstances surrounding it. If the breach occurred due to a failure in security protocols or inadequate measures, it would primarily be labeled as a security lapse. This would raise concerns about the effectiveness of security systems and the need for improvements to prevent such incidents in the future.
On the other hand, if the intrusion was politically motivated, aimed at making a statement or disrupting proceedings for ideological reasons, it would be considered a political misadventure. Such actions could have broader implications for the political landscape and may lead to debates about the motives behind the intrusion and its potential ramifications on governance and public trust. Understanding the incident requires a thorough investigation into the specifics surrounding the intrusion, including the motives of the individuals involved and any potential vulnerabilities in the security infrastructure.
The arrest of those involved in this dastardly committed crime is undoubtedly a major breakthrough in the matter but investigating agencies will have to have a marathon task at their hands as it looks to be a bigger plot and not just a security breach.
This country has witnessed a lot of Anti national wrath and this one is no less than a properly executed terrorist plot to destabilise the peaceful atmosphere after a successful culmination of all important election in 5 states. We have been talking about the tool kits, the NGOs, foreign elements, Anti national Indians operating on foreign soil, Intelligence agencies of neighbouring countries and big business tycoons who hate India and are spending money to create disturbances and destroying the stability and peace in the country. All these areas need to be thoroughly probed with a keen intent to reach to a logical conclusion and bring the ugly truth to the fore. Investigating agencies have a gigantic challenge at hand and they have to come out with a solid proof establishing the Actual intent of the culprits.
On the anniversary of Parliament attack on 13th December 2001, it looks as if the conspirators had planned to execute their nefarious plot to intrude into the Parliament in order to make a statement that even after 22 years since terrorists attacked the Parliament with heavy ammunition the security of 542 law makers is not safe. Well, what has happened, is not a joke. And, political parties who are hell bent on proving the fault of each other, should sit and introspect as to what went wrong and what measures need to be put in place so that such terrifying incidents don’t get repeated in future. Prime Minister has very rightly said that all Parliamentarians need to be cautious and alert. In fact every member of Parliament owes a responsibility not only towards Nation but also towards the safety and security of their fellow parliamentarians.
Whatever the case may be, security system of the Parliament House and for that matter of all other important places and establishments need to be tightened and made absolutely fool proof. India has been on a path of development in every aspect of life, and if incidents of this magnitude happen where every citizen will feel unsafe and helpless, then in that case it is a very sad state of affairs. Something everyone should feel ashamed of. It is not Modi or his Government who alone can put the system in place. It is a collective, sincere and proactive approach on part of every responsible citizen to see to it that we are not subjected to such a dangerous and catastrophic crisis ever again.
Nation first has inevitably become now “The Order Of The Day”.
