Citizens of India who want a peaceful and secure country

Dr. Manmohan Singh

Prime Minister of India

Respected Sir

In light of the recent terrorist attacks in Mumbai, we as citizens of India are shocked at the incidents and very concerned for the future security of our country. For any country (democratically elected or otherwise) we believe that peace and security are the foundation stone to the functioning and growth of its society.

In that regard, we would like to engage in the following conversation with you and your administration.

1.       In your administration's list of goals for the governance of our country, where does ensuring peace and security in the country fit? This goal can also be filtered down specifically to stopping terrorist attacks, given the recent turn of events.

2.       If this does fit in your top 5 goals for the government, what is your plan to address this?

3.       Specifically what are the 3 areas you will tackle to address terrorism in India?

4.       What measures do you have in place today to address these? We understand that some of this is confidential information we are dealing with and would like to know the extent of the plan rather than its details.

5.       How does your government rate its performance against those goals?

6.       Where do you feel we are hurting the most, in trying to achieve those goals?

7.       Who are the people/officials who are accountable to each of the areas you list out? How do you ensure accountability?

8.       How can we (please refer to the list below of all signed petitioners with their contact information) as concerned and involved citizens help, contribute and provide constructive feedback in this process?
