The offender is Janata Party President Suramaniam Swamy.Indian Politicians have to realise that the old days of shooting off their big mouths is over.The Indian public is slowing 'coming of age'. Maharashtra ex-home minister R R Patil had to resign after the public ire at his insensitive remarks after 26/11.
The Tamils who are demanding action by Indian Govt to protect Sri Lankan LTTE and terrorist Tamils are both mad and Anti-Indian. LTTE is nothing but a terrorist organization and there must not be ANY support for those who killed one of our former Prime Ministers. This Lawyers violent agitation has backing of some tamil political parties. These illogical Tamils may one day demand that part of US will also be part of their so-called united Tamil-Land as their numbers is increasing fast in US too. Day dreaming may be good but surely not at the cost of national interest and security and surely not through violence.
Mr Jay,Your India will be n0o where .It will be shattered in to pieces for the attrocities you people are doing.You jokers are dayb dreaming and trying to cheat the world that India is one country.Justice will Prevail,
The time has come for all Tamils, Sri Lankan and Indian, to unite and struggle for freedom from the clutches of Sri Lanka and India and establish a free independent Tamil Elam comprising of Tamil Nadu and eastern half of Sri Lanka. We Tamils need our home land , our indepoendent Tamil country where we can live peacefully according to our unique Tamil culture.
yaya, u need a seprate land, so unite and fight, let us see how far u can go.
Are anyone in this world brought a piece of land to claim as their own at the time of birth. UTTER NONSENSE. IF tamils want FREE TAMILNADU, kannadigas may ask for FREE KARNATAKA, teluga for FREE ANDRA, malayali for FREE KERELA, Muslim for FREE JK, christians for FREE NORTH EASTERN STATE,... then all of them FIGHT AMONG EACH OTHER TO FINAL DEATH AND DESTRUCTION... DOES ANY ONE WANT THIS.... TAMILIANS dont want this.... LTTE is in the last stage of its death.... it does not have public sympathy because it has killed many tamilians than srilanka...Only handful of misguided people of Tamilnadu are supporting them. NO SUPPORT TO SELFISH LTTE AGENDA
Shoot at sight orders , just to protect a politician called Subramaniam Swamy ? Why are the police always using disproportionate use against unarmed civilians?Why are the police always beating up lawyers , journalists and activists ? Right to meetings and protest is part of democracy.Lawyers and journalists are the most important pillars of society safeguarding the public from tyrants and injustice .
Tamilnadu lawyers are behaving like lawless goondas, so only shoot at site is not enough. they should be hanged at the public square, as that is the law they represent.
Shoot at sight is NOT to protect an individual but public property. Lawyers get beaten up because they act like goondas. In Chennai lawyers more acted like semi literate thugs than 'Pillars'. The 'pillars' should not only be punished for their violent acts but also their right to practice should be withdrawn.
right to meeting is not right to be mad and destroy public property. the corrupt lawyers burn the tax payers' property and pretend to be heroes. they should all b hanged not just shot.
Lawer and journalist not pillar after Tamil nadu episoide and lawers are goonda.To whom they are fighting.For terrorist.All lawers speak support of LTTE should be booked under severe law and their licence is to be cancelled immediatly.What these lawyers can do if they are not maintaing law and order.They should be punished with out any consideration.
Lawyers pf Tamilnadu are behaving just like anti-social GOONDA elements and they don't require any public sympathy. After all what has happened? They are protesting against anybody who is not supporting LTTE. Lawyers should know that if someone is not supporting LTTE as they do, he/she is entitled to do so. WHO ARE THESE LAWYERS TO SAY SUBRAMANIAN SWAMY TO SUPPORT LTTE. LTTE is a terrorist organisation. Everyone has RIGHT TO EXPRESSION. IT IS IRONIC THAT THOSE WHO STUDIED LAW AND CONSTITUTION IS RESORTING TO CURBING THE FUNDAMENTAL RIGHT TO EXPRESSION OF A INDIVIDUAL. These lumpen lawyers need to be dealt with FIRM HAND by the police. THERE IS NOTHING UNUSUAL in Police reaction. NO ONE CAN TAKE LAW INTO THEIR HANDS...NOT THOSE WHO CALL LAWYERS AT LEAST... HOW CAN YOU EXPECT right behavior from common people when learned people are doing offensive acts. POLICE IS RIGHT IN DECLARING SHOOT AT SIGHT TO CONTAIN VIOLENCE GENERATED BY LAWYERS.
Advocates taking law in to their hand means they perhaps thinks to get justice taking such course is the only way left. Is it?
The licence of those who advocates who assaulted Mr. Subramaniam Swamy (whatever his fault may be) in court should be cancelled for ever alongwith the licences of those who spearheaded this agitation to support the perpetrators of this trouble. If ipunishment is being meted out by advocates, and that too in Court, then why citizen should have respect fo such institutions? It is for our judiciary, the last hope of citizenry, to act firmly now.
Shame on you the arbitrators of law.Hang them with out trial.
After seeing media reports in Madras High Court, one wonders if they are lawyers or thugs in black coats??
