Should India revamp its Anti-Terrorism Laws??

I think we already have enough laws. Our problem is not a lack of laws, but a lack of will. After the 26/11, the government announced grandiose schemes for enhancing security. But what was achieved in reality? Very little. Then the Pune blast occurred. When will it stop? It will stop only when we become capable of retaliating these terror strikes. No amount of pleading with Pakistan or the US will enhance our security against terrorists. We have to build up the capability. When anything happens, we simply blame Pakistan. Is Pakistan so capable of blasting our backyard? Or are we pathetically incapable? So our attitudes have to change. We must stand up and fight for our security. Nobody else will protect us, we have to do it.

Indian Parliament and the state legislatures have a record of enacting numerous outdated laws, the plight of which is not very difficult to comprehend. Most of them are either facing dust for the lack of proper implementation, or are facing a trial for their survival in the courts. In turn, ultimately overburdening the judiciary, which instead of serving the very cause of people, keeps on looking into the constitutional conflicts and securing the very features of the same. So, the dilemma is much more complicated then it looks like. What one can suggest, is a single, proper, uniform law which has a uniform implementation throughout the country, which in turn thwarts both the very possibility of coming in tatters with any state law and the need of proper implementation. Terrorism is a uniform effort of creating fear in the minds of humans which targets the whole humanity in general and in order to curb the very efforts of the same, only a uniform action can guarantee protection.

I think instead of revamping, we should first implement an existing law strictly. The problem in our country is, we just make laws and hardly work on it. Just of an example, in the Kandahar aeroplane hacking case in December 1999, we released a terrorist for the life of few hundred hostages for imprisonment of whom, many thousands of soldiers gave their life. Whenever this type of case occurs, our government kneels down in front of the terrorists. This is not right. I believe we should implement the law in which, when you know a man is terrorist, there is no meaning in carrying out any case on him rather he should be immediately hanged/shot or else, his friends will again hijack some aeroplane and demand his freedom. But we are of very soft nature because of which Daud is maintaining all his activities of Mumbai, right from Karachi and Abu Salem is standing in the UP elections...What a shame !!!

No, the laws need not be revamped as the laws are enough to fight.. the thing which has to be changes is the commitment of the politicians and the attitude of general public. What can be changed is the way thetrails take place, we can see that the prime accuse of the parliament attact is still not been convicted . .  So laws are in place but what is need is the commitment to execute them well...
