November 2008, people of India said congress over saw the internal security. failed to protect the lives of innocent people and foreigners who are killed in the attack. The Times of India commented on its front page that “Our politicians fiddle as innocents die”. The anger against the political class in the wake of the Mumbai terror attack boiled over with slain NSG commando Major Sandeep Unnikrishnan’s father literally shooing away Kerala chief minister V S Achuthanandan”. Public furor was further exacerbated with Mr. Achutanandan’s statement in a television interview that “If it had not been Sandeep’s house, not even a dog would have gone there”. This statement was highlighted by the television channel video interview. After this became a major controversy, The chief minister later issued an written apology stating that his remarks were misunderstood.
All this is forgotten, people want the same congress to continue…some say the financial muscle power of congress could have bought the poor Indian votes. For them terrorism is very easy to forget, but to earn food and shelter is the biggest challenge.
