The Indian government has great objections to the travel advisory put out by the US, Canada, Australia, Britain and New Zealand advising their citizens against travel to India during the festival season although they deny knowledge of any specific threat of terror attack. Not surprising because during the night of Diwali not one police person was to be seen anywhere in Delhi even though we had been warned of being careful. Instead of objecting our government should request these countries very politely to inform us if they do come across any credible information of terror attacks because our most revered Home Minister insists that " No intelligence does not mean intelligence failure ". Which means that our politicians are least bothered about the safety of citizens as long as the scoundrels get Z+ security. Apparently the Foreign Minister of New Zealand, Murray McCully has said soothingly that this was just to advise citizens to avoid any demonstrations. If this sounds that he thinks Indian politicians are a bunch of morons then he has good cause. There has been no serious attack on US, UK or Europe for at least 8 years because of intense intelligence gathering and preemptive arrests of terrorist cells. The US has been eliminating terrorists by using drones whereas our fellows are going on " bended knees " to talk to Pakistan which is the source of all terrorism in the world. The Demilitarized Zone in Korea has ensured peace for over 60 years with fencing and innumerable land mines but we have started a train called Samjhauta Express ( meaning understanding ) so as to bring Pakis across the border in great comfort. Indians need advisories to travel in India.
