Drug Dealers of Dawood Ibrahim & U.S.Adminstration

The news about U.S. Department of the Treasury 'Office of Foreign Assets Control designating Chhota Shakeel and Tiger Memon as drug traffickers is more amusing than a serious punitive act. Both these criminals have been engaged in most nefarious criminal acts like murders, extortion, communal riots, terrorism besides drug peddling for the past many decades. India has been voicing its concerns about their activities in the international forums and the need to apprehend and bring them to judicial process. American establishments did precious little to do any thing in the matter although they hold a pressure leverage on Pakistan from where and under whose protection these groups operate. The present action of the U.S. Government is merely a symbolic move to appease India. They have made similar dramatic moves like announcing a bounty on the Head of Hafeez Sayeed, the kingpin of Mumbai carnage who moves about freely in the streets of Pakistan despite the aforesaid American declaration. Dawood Ibrahim, carrying Interpol warrant order roamed about freely in Dubai and celebrated his daughter's wedding in full public view. The public in India is,therefore, least impressed with the sincerity of American establishment role in aiding controlling & curbing anti-India terror groups.
