Mr Prime Minister
I hope you, your party bosses and your colleagues are watching the news channels right now (1845 hours, India time) - and I hope you are learning right lessons for the future.
You are seeing the people of Mumbai, Delhi, Kolkata, Hyderabad, Bangalore, Jaipur, Ahmedabad, and other cities sending you one clear message - "zero tolerance from now on".
Zero tolerance for terrorism.
Zero tolerance for apathetic administrators and politicians.
Zero tolerance for corruption, which has led our beloved country to a state of complete alienation from your tribe, the politicians.
Zero tolerance for lack of accountability.
Zero tolerance for inaction.
Zero tolerance for passing the buck.
Zero tolerance for political interference in our security, police and defence forces.
Zero tolerance, Mr Prime Minister, zero tolerance from now on.
Now, it's your turn to tell us what you are going to do to ensure that our demands for zero tolerance are met.
Happy viewing!

Hi Kaka,
My sentiments exactly, but here's a small thought I'd like to convey to Mr. Prime Minister. I hope he understands that zero tolerance does not mean a war against Pakistan! We want the issue to be addressed and war does not deal with terrorism. If anything, it fuels it further...
hello Jayanto,
having seen too much of terrorism on TV news esp. in Israel, and the response from Israeli authorities (some times not very humane) I hope the Indian Govt. can learn from this experience and appoint a capable and powerful ombudsman person/ organization to deal with Terrorism and root it out.
this takes a national resolve -- not just from Politicians; the common folks should not go back to life as usual in a few days.
hope people like you can continue to stir the pot and not rest till it is properly addressed.

Hello jayanta,
a nice thought and well expressed. Just one observation - after 15 years the same route and same RDX and possibly the same characters have come into Mumbai - we have not as yet finished acting on the first case !!
I feel that the bigger picture involves drugs and smuggling camouflaged into religion. All these activities require funds and we should be attacking the funds transfer and tax havens - a subject which our PM knows (for a change). Add this to the open letter and pray that he is allowed to work free.
