The media has played up the PM’s comments on a possible terror strike from Pakistan, but the real issue is the one raised by Home Minister P Chidambaram — that the states have several vacancies in the police force that need to be filled up at the earliest.
And, as became apparent in the Mumbai attack, these police forces need to be equipped with the latest arms and bullet proof vests. Till this is done, we will always be vulnerable to terror attacks.
