Re: Pak to become 4th largest nuclear state at end of decade
Why not?
- Mrs Gandhi was assassinated by her body guards.There was an intelligence report prior to her death ,and the intelligence reports had clearly advised her not to go for Sikh body guards which she did not heed to stating any such move would futher alienate the already remonstrating Sikh community.
2)Mr Rajiv had security threats much before his assassination at perambatur.he had already received an assassination attempt in Colombo by a SriLankan guard while he was receiving Guard of Honour.He was even warned by the late Yassir Arafat(who was a very close friend of Gandhi family)that Mossad would try to harm him.There was another apparent assassination attempt on his life in Delhi ,this time by a sniper.Again there were adequate intelligence forewarnings about attempts against his life.Moreover T.N had become a roost for the L.T.T.E by 1991. Who can forget the assassination of E.P.R.L.F leader M.Padmanabha and his accomplices in Kodambakkom,near Chennai in 1990?The main accused and the leader of that hit squad was none other than Sivarasan who wold become the leader of the Rajiv Gandhi assassination squad a few months later.He and his accomplices would escape to Jaffna from vedaranyam and he would come back to india twice before he successfully execute his plan in May 1991.Even a few minutes before the deadly blast that took Mr.Rajiv’s life on 21 May 1991,the security lapses were clearly conspicuous.
Pure lethargy and sheer irresponsibility that cost India the lives of these two great leaders.
