Dealing with PFI and Other Terror Threats: India Needs its Own Patriot Act

News 18  

After 9/11, which took place during the George W Bush presidency, over two decades ago, in 2001, America has not had any Islamic terrorist attacks or incidents within its landmass. This is mostly thanks to the stringent Patriot Act which was passed just two months after the warlike attack that killed thousands, destroyed two high-rise towers at the World Trade Centre in New York, destroyed part of the Pentagon, brought down three fully laden passenger planes, even as one of them was headed for the Capitol in Washington DC, or possibly the White House itself. The Patriot Act, internally, was combined with massive US and NATO military action against Afghanistan though parts of it were also based in Sudan. In India, as the ascendancy of the Hindu Nationalist BJP seems never-ending going forward to the 200 million plus Muslims, more and more bloody attacks against the Hindu majority are becoming commonplace. But, with the proliferation of an organised series of movements such as the PFI and erstwhile SIMI, The by-and-large non-violent Hindu population still constitutes nearly 80 percent of India’s 1.44 billion.
