Kashmir Issue: Indo-Pak NSA Level Talks called off

By Neel Achary 

Much awaited Indo-Pak NSA level talks derailed over the issue of Kashmir,that was not raised when the proposed talks were taken a form at Ufa meeting, and both the nations stick to their grounds. The issue of Kashmir was the main bone of contention that shadows the talks between two countries. The core issue has been terrorism and Pakistan has been on back foot to discuss about for two reasons. First the cross border terrorism - a terrorist Usman was apprehended by Indian police recently. And the second reason that the revelation of under world don Dawood Ibrahim residing in Pakistan.

Cross border terrorism is open truth that - it is being sponsored by Pakistan and Pak Army. Heavy firing along the border by the troops of Pakistan, as expected they do cover militants crossing border bid. This was evident from the Kargil War. A terrorist from Pakistan, has been captured and being interrogated by Indian officials. And, case of Kasab was the brightest example to

The country has been sponsoring terrorism for many decades and India is one of the soft target among other Asian countries. India witnessed biggest attacks like - Attack of Parliament and Mumbai Attack. Hardly do the people of this country would forget those coward attacks.

It is the greatness of Prime Minister of Modi, who during the Ufa meet, held talks with his counter part and gave ascent to visit Pakistan in 20165, but his commitments for peace back fired as Pakistan diplomatically avoided the NSA level talks with India.

The second reason, the revelation of Dawood Ibrahim, is said to be the biggest drawback for the country that has been denying his presence. According to media reports, the Don owned nine house in Pakistan, has phone connection, visits to various countries with Pakistan issued passport.

The two reasons are enough to understand Pakistan's policy on terrorism and stand of its leaders. They just used Separatist leader as trump card at a proper time, so that they can bailout self from international humiliation.

The failure of talks would work as eye opener for the countries those supporting Pakistan..

Shirdi Sai Temple Trust, To Ban Devotees Bringing Flowers and Garlands - Fearing Terror Attack

At the revered shrine of Sai Baba in Shirdi. Carrying garlands and flowers would soon be a thing of the past. This is because the Shirdi Sai Sansthan trust, which runs the temple, has decided to impose a ban on devotees bringing flowers and garlands into the temple in order to avert any possibility of a terror attack on the temple.


The trust has decided not to allow devotees from bringing garlands and flowers, which terror groups could use to conceal bombs and sneak in, in case of an attack.


The chief officer of the trust Kishore More, said "Many devotees buy big garlands that are brought in bags and it is difficult to keep check on each and every devotee. We feel that some terror groups might exploit an opportunity to sneak in an explosives-laden garland into the shrine by disguising themselves as devotees and we do not want to take a chance with that."


More also said “"that the trust has decided to discontinue allowing garlands into the shrine. He says that the temple has been on the terror hit list of many radical organizations and there is no point in taking chance, especially since the recent twin blasts at Dilsukhnagar went off close to a Sai Baba temple.”


The trust will now meet with the committee of the temple before implementing this order. In the year 2007 the temple had banned carrying cell phones into the shrine after receiving terror threat. The constant terror threat to the temple, in the recent years, has forced the state government to provide the temple with additional security forces.


At present, about 730 private security guards are deployed on duty at the temple by the trust which is leading to spend a substantial portion of the donations received, towards the security of the temple. Apart from this, the state government has appointed 50 policemen and a bomb detection and disposal squad on standby at the temple.

Today’s world so many nations are facing problems of various kinds. In each nation there are problems to be solved, issues to addressed, and more reforms for betterment to be made. And in such a situation, even today there are many nations that are spending lots of money, on arms. This is really a sad situation, just because some nations are accumulating arms, and are making their armed forces stronger, the other nations in fear of them, and to make their own position stronger, they are also accumulating, arms.

Some countries population is ever increasing, and in some countries population is less.

If we start making a list of the problems that each country is facing, today it will be never ending. How much reasonable it is, in this situation, to spend money on arms? Not only this, today are many counties in the world facing, terrorist problems. There is only one solution for all these problems that is to universal disarmament. All the nations should come together, on one platform and should come to one conclusion that is universal disarmament.

This is the requirement of the time, if nations would do this, they can concentrate on the development aspects of their countries and how to make the life of their people better. Now many countries are wasting lot of man power and money power for arms, instead for people’s welfare. If universal disarmament is done each nation will use resources, for the progress of the country. And the world would become a better place and a peaceful place to live on.
