De-link Vote Bank While Dealing with Terror

Modern Terrorism is a creation of the U.S. As part of its fight against the Soviets in Afghanistan, the U.S. had encouraged the wahabis in Saudi Arabia and involved Pakistan in the process as well. The terrorist mechanism began in Afghanisthan. The U.S. helped train the Taliban and sent them to Afghanisthan and Pakistan used the set up to send terrorists across to Jammu and Kashmir.
India can't depend on the world to fight terrorism. India must be self-reliant, strengthen its security forces, equip them well and take every step to improve the effectiveness of its defence.
UPA must delink vote bank while dealing with Terror. Don't link dealing with terror to vote bank.
We can not fight terrorism while linking it to internal politics. While we can not link religion to terrorism and accuse members of a religious community of acts of terrorism, we can't afford to be soft of terrorists simply because they belong to a certain religious community. We can't let vote Banks politics determine how we deal with terrorism. If we let vote bank politics take over, then we will never be able to beat terrorism.
