THE RISE OF DOUBLE STANDARDS

ARVIND K.PANDEY

Double standards prevailing in the name of secularism is preventing us to take tough steps against the terrorists . Recently , MK Naryanan , the National Security Advisor , informed us that 800 terrorist cells are operating in India with the help of "external support" .Sadly , likes of Lalu and Mulayam feel that organizations like SIMI should not be banned . Probably this is why Islamic terrorists are getting bolder day by day .Against the backdrop of a weak governance ,it's a threatening development . We all need to tackle the flawed Islamic ideologies,the real cause of rise of Islamic terrorists ,to prevent another division of India .Also global war on terrorism should be devoid of dubious intentions . If America is so sure about ISI's involvement in terrorist activities then what's preventing it to take tough action against Pakistan ? It's better that it takes tough actions against Pakistan instead of issuing empty warnings .
