First, the UPA government communalised the foreign policy. Next, it was internal security. The dangers of 'politically correct policing' have become painfully evident in the mayhem in Hyderabad. It is no longer possible to blame 'intelligence failure' for the simple reason that intelligence didn't fail. Apparently, Manmohan Singh loses sleep only on certain things, people dying in terror attacks is not one of them.

Police officials attribute this to three major factors. Firstly, a general disinterest among the police, especially those involved in counter intelligence work following a 'soft' stand adopted by the government towards fundamentalists for political reasons; insensitivity and ignorance of the police top brass towards the nature of counter intelligence work; and the general tendency of the police department to ignore the security needs of officers who have been exposed to threats from the modules.

However, for its own reasons, the Congress government in Andhra Pradesh did not allow the kinds of aggressive -- and unpopular -- policing that the Central Bureau of Investigation and city police felt were necessary to secure the city. Neither during the recent communal incidents nor in response to the attack on Taslima Nasrin by fundamentalist thugs did the government demonstrate the kind of even-handed political and administrative resolve needed to address the deep communal strains in Hyderabad. End excerpt http://www.indianexpress.com/story/212864.html Excerpt The underlying common explanation is however to be found at the Centre. The message to security agencies everywhere is that between erring on the side of investigative zeal and politically correct ineffectual policing the former is by far the worse offence. No one is suggesting that the police and other agencies be not held accountable or that some form of community profiling does not sometimes bias investigators. But the solution is surely not the home ministry signaling that it is far more important for security agencies to be nice than effective.
