Defiant Modi takes a stand against terrorism

As Lalit Modi hovers over his prized possession, the Indian Premier League, he realises he cannot afford to make the same mistake he made last year.

It is a good thing too. It is time someone said ‘enough’ to terrorists and their barbarous acts of trying to force others not of their fundamentalist persuasion into psychological submission by uttering threats, and deliberately killing or maiming people so they can smirk at the television sets at their sadistic and false triumph.

For a start, the cowardly threats after the Pune bomb attack on innocents are typical acts of your common street bully who wants to show off his strength to frighten others. It is all about hitting soft targets, creating panic that is designed to spread paranoia and turning a peaceful town into a battle zone because the loudmouth tyrant can’t get his miscreant way.

Now this latest fundamentalist murdering thug element with their fascist plans for scaring off others, are trying to intimidate international sportsmen to boycott events in India. Masquerading behind the ugly metaphorical banner of ‘we will not be responsible (for your death)’ is the latest in a long line of wannabe fanatical fashisti mobsters. Ilyas Kashmiri is no better than a Prabhakaran, Pol Pot, Adolf Hitler, Attila The Hun, Josef Stalin, and the perpetrators of the Rape of Nanking or butchery of those in the Nazi concentration camps, who among others set out to terrorise others into surrendering their right to earn a living through peaceful means.
