Sandeep mate, RIP. You done us Indians all proud. Bless your good folks, I hope they have the strength to carry on. Take care pal wherever you may be.
God Bless India and the brave NSG soliders that laid their life for the country.I hope Indians learn from the sacrifice. They don't elect leaders who don't respect sacrifices of the military and human life. How don't want to put put rules such as POTA to fight against the Militants who encourage terrorism like Pashwan who took Osama Bin Laden look like with him in the elections to get votes by sending the implicit message that he supports terrorism - leaders like Mulyam singh yadav got the restrictions removed from SIMI terrorist organisation for their political benefit., Mufti in J

My deepest condolences to the victims who died and the officers who sacrificed their livesto free people from the clutches of the fidayeen attackers.We have 3 of them in custody this proof of their links to pakistan.
Let their souls rest in peace as the rest of Indians take full responsibility. Irony is sandeep is from Bihar regimen saving the coward raj thackery live peacefully.
They Talk of Maharastra being their karma bhoomi.... Raj Thakerey should have been there fighting the terrorist instead of fighting harmless indians in his own country..Shame on you Raj Thakerey....You are a disgrace on Maharastra
My heartfelt condolence for the victim of this tragedy. Please for god sake, dont brand them Islamist or muslim terrorist. The victims include Muslim, Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Jews. Islam does not preach voilance. Dont go by their name and their nationality. They are terrorist and terrorists have no religion.
We are united always, irrespective of our cast, creed and religion. No neighboring country can make us defeated. Bravo to the national heroes. India and Indians are always great. JAI HIND
we salute you major
Immediately after the situation is brought under control, India needs to go after the mastermind and his gang wherever they be, regardless of borders, capture them and let the mob loose on them for jungle justice. We also have to ensure that the dependents and family members of the fallen martyrs are well taken care of, in terms of significant financial support and without any bureaucratic delays. Just empty praises by political parties and media is not enough to feed their dependents.
In this time of great tragedy,I salute the men who laid their lives for the sake of people irrespective of race,national origin.My condolences to all the family members and dear friends.I have been following this from the US and I am at loss of words to describe your courage and sacrifice.May your selfless sacrifice never go in vain even as we look forward.
RIP Maj Sandeep and Cdo Chander. Your heroism will be etched in Indian history for ever!
Great Job NSG,You guys are the best. Every Indians life is worth its weight in gold
May god rest his soul. He has layed down his life for our country men. We should salute such familiies who raise such hero's and send their beloved for our safety
I salute you my brave friend. You will continue to live in our hearts forever.And human right activists who think that these terrorists should not be killed as theyare turned towards by crime - I quote Albert Einstein -"There is no limit to stupidity in this world. It can be infinite" .And the peace loving people all over the world cant take bin laden like infinite stupids . We got to kill them....And its urgent .
Hats off to this brave young man. May God gives enough strength to his parents to bear the great loss.
we are proud of these brave commandos who sacrificed their lives for the sake of the country
