Purulia Arms Drop!

Purulia arms drop incidence resurfaced after as many as after 16 yrs.As public memory is proverbially short most of us have totally forgotten the incidence.Even during frightful 26/11 terrorist attack in Bombay we did hardly remember or discus Purulia arms drop case.But now we feel shiver down the spine when we think instead of arms drop it could have been terrorist attack in a big way.How dared the perpetrators of arms drop act smoothly penetrat deep in Indian territory, do their job perfectly and decamp successfully?What's most worrying is16 yrs have gone by but we are yet to know how it happened and why it did happen.It was definitely due to big security lapse or intelligence failure.But unfortunately,none has yet been reportedly punished for dereliction of duties or lapses.

As usual blame games have started between opposition and ruling parties.one politician is passing the buck to another.Some even rubbish Kim Davy's starling confession as LF's ploy to garner public sympathy during assembly polls.These are all irresponsible and unbuckled statements.It's foolish to question why the matter has come to fore after so many years.We should rather ask why after so many years truth has not yet been unearthed.However, it's fortunate that the serious matter that was almost erased from public memory has resurfaced and under people's pressure govt would investigate the case with renewed verve and zeal for our safety and security
