Yeah, I am pointing the finger at the Hindu nationalists that helped carry this out!!!
"India supports new antiterror laws; Step follows ire over lapses after Mumbai attacks" by Rama Lakshmi, Washington Post | December 18, 2008
NEW DELHI - Responding to soaring public anger over security lapses after the Mumbai assault, the lower house of India's parliament yesterday passed a string of tough antiterrorism laws and a plan to set up a national investigative agency.
The government debated and brought to the table two key bills, the National Investigating Agency Bill and the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendments Bill, that will facilitate investigation and trial of the accused in cases of terrorism. They must go to the upper house, perhaps as soon as today, but mostly as a formality.
"You have captured the mood of the nation. The nation expects parliament to pass these laws today and restore their confidence," India's home minister, Palaniappan Chidambaram, told the lawmakers after several hours of debate....
The bills have assumed urgency in India after the deadly Mumbai rampage where 10 gunmen laid siege to Mumbai for three days and killed more than 170 people and wounded more than 230 in attacks on two luxury hotels, a restaurant, a train station, and a Jewish prayer center.
There is your background paragraph of "historical context" that you will be seeing in the future in all MSM news stories on those events.

India has blamed the Pakistan-based outlawed Lashkar-i-Taiba for engineering the attacks and asked Islamabad to crack down on groups fomenting terror against India. Pakistan has offered a joint probe and has detained some leaders of the group in the past few days. The two nuclear-armed neighbors have fought three wars since gaining independence from Britain in 1947. The Mumbai assault and the subsequent war of words have sorely destabilized the ongoing peace process between the nations.
Responding to the national outrage that followed the attacks, India has announced a comprehensive revamp of its security forces and strengthened coastal borders and intelligence agencies. The left-of-center Congress Party government had earlier voted out a previous antiterror measure because of its sweeping powers and potential for abuse. But in the wake of the Mumbai attacks, the government felt pressured by public opinion to introduce a similar law to clamp down on terror....
And CUI BONO? TYRANNY!
The debate yesterday reflected the classic challenge of meeting the demand for tough homeland security laws without trampling upon the fundamental rights of accused in a multi-religious democracy.... The government also proposed the setting up of a national agency to investigate and prosecute "offenses affecting the sovereignty, security and integrity" of the country.
FALSE FLAGS are wonderful for FREEDOM, aren't they, world?
