Abstract Construct(s): 6 ridiculous things about the Mumbai attacks

1. Dirty Politics

Modi announces Rs 1 cr for slain cops' kin

Martyr's father snubs Kerala chief minister

'Politics of martyrdom'

2. Bumbling Politicians

"bade shahron mein aise ek adh hadse hote rahte hain. Woh 5,000 logon ko marne aye the lekin humne kitna kum nuksan hone diya" - Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil

“Before I could reach there, the terrorists who had attacked one of the hospitals, the Cama Hospital, had left and those who attacked the railway station had also left.” - Home Minister Shivraj Patil (more gaffes)

"If it had not been (Major) Sandeep's house, not even a dog would have glanced that way." - Kerala Chief Minister V S Achuthanandan

3. Mumbai Cops

Hats off to the brave cops who braved the terrorists. But the potbellied, lathi wielding and 303 carrying force needs a serious makeover...

4. Dumb advertisers

I don't know what to say of this advert... "During these challenging times in Mumbai we are with you. To register your claim if any please call our 24x7 toll free number 18002098888. Be safe. Team ICICI L"... and I am not even registered with them!
