Mumbai was an inside job. This is exactly the reason the reason Karkare's wife refused compensation. We should look at our own problems and not blame others. We as a nation need to grow up.

Bloody Politician by rahul on 24 Dec 2008

Who are the beneficieries of Mumbai Terror? Hindu fascist organizations and its parent 'BJP'! 1. Unlike other terrorists, Terrorists in Mumbay has not demanded anything? They don't demand release of their co-prisoners nor demanded money... why?? what was their target then? They just came to die or what? 2. Unlike other islamic Jehadis with beard and turbans, why Mumbai terrorists came with strange look - they wore jeans and T-shirts; clean-shaved and no turbans nor any sign of muslims terrorists we normally watch on media? 3. And the Terrorists did nothing specifically for western, even Israelis, it was sure if they were Jehadists! 4 Beer driking terrorists; Jehadi terrorists and non-alcoholic, however Mumbai Terrorists goes to the cafe and drinks beer before they start firing?? We came to know from the Post-Martom report of Terrorist body fully alcoholic. 5. Mumbai terrorists (as shown by media) had close similarities with RSS cadres: Mumbai terrori

Modi's offer to Maharashtra govt. by Sampath on 06 Dec 2008

Modi, on behalf of the Gujarat govt. has made the offer to the Maharashtra govt for all killed police personnel. How can Mrs. Karkare decline Modi's offer? She must reject maharashtra govt's offer. It is not reported whether the maharashtra govt. has accepted Modi's offer. The media shuts its mouth when it is convenient.Mrs. Karkare may not need the money, but families of other slain officers may need the compensation. Have they too declined the offer?

Karkare's wife's decision by H. Maryam on 01 Dec 2008

That was a great decision by Karkare's wife. Do those politicians think they can compensate such patriotic blood with money?

Know the truth by Sayed on 10 Dec 2008

Any sane person if he analyses Politics, he will know that Hindu fundamentalists are behind this. Indians have killed Indians just like 9/11. What a tragedy, and we Indians still believe its outside job when we can realise that this is an inside job.

Where's the compensation for the Gujarat riot victims ? by Vikram on 01 Dec 2008

This was a personal decision by the ATS chief's wife, to not take the bait of these scheming politicians. This was a completely politically motivated step by Modi who's government is not even providing proper relief to the victims of the Gujarat riots that happpened 6 years ago.

unnecessary criticism of Modi and BJP by kaushal on 01 Dec 2008

With all due respect to the dead person, let me clarify that Hemant Karkare, Salaskar, and kamthe were killed like a sitting duck in their car by the terrorists. Not in fighting the terrorist which 2 commandos from NSG. Salaskar was driving the car while Kamthe and Karkare were sitting in the police car. Terrorist blindly fired on the police car. Unfortunately, they were killed, even if they were wearing bulletproof jacket. You can verify these facts after going through the reports.What I see is all the Modi haters and BJP bashers are in full action here criticising the Modi and govt. I am surprised that even of the present UPA govt has failed miserably, not a single word has been uttered here. One scapegoat Patil was asked to resign. That's all?I am ready to listen arguments for or against BJP or Modi if they are based on facts. But, what I see is people just criticize for the sake of criticizing. Why no one is asking question to the govt, which is at helm. Strange!

Who is Modi by ibbu on 01 Dec 2008

If modi is really a good person, then y dint he help the people of gujarat in the gujarat riot?i will tel y he dint help, b'coz they were muslims and nw even here Mr Karkare was the peson who was handling the cases,where muslims could get success, and Modi dint want this to happen, so he is the one who planned to kill Mr. Karkere and nw he is giving money to their family. he is a cheater and the biggest terrorist in India.

karkares wife declines by harun on 01 Dec 2008

hi kaushal read your comment on the web.i think we need to be more pragmatic its sheer crass if we belittle what these officers have done for the nation.well theres no doubt that the upa has screwed up the war against terror.what mumbai and every indian feels today is natural.but to justify modi and the bjp for villifying karkare a day before and then calling him a martyr is blasmpheny.the timing of modis action showed crass towards human ethics.lets not mock those who died for the nation to defend politicians.

how were the police officers got killed by Venkat on 01 Dec 2008

With all respects to the police officers, it seems true that the trio Mr.Karkare,Salaskar and Kamte lost their lives while not in combat.This is reported only in rediff as far as i know. But they are placed (by TV channels) on par with the Major Sandeep who gave up his life in thick of action.

Modi as PM...Really??? by Rhea on 01 Dec 2008

What about the Gujarat violence? Or has everybody forgotten all the victim statements about how the gujarat govt (which btw was under MODI) did nothing to save people. Would you prefer internal clashes on top of terrorist attacks? I doubt he'd be able to handle the situation any better. He's just lucky his party is not in power right now.

Modi as Next PM by Shallabh on 01 Dec 2008

I thank Modi to acknowledge the martyrs and shunning the differences on Malegaon probe against innocent hindus. We should be united to fight against ISLAMIC terror.

karkare's wife's decision by ram iyer on 01 Dec 2008

I respect Mrs. Karkare's decision in declining the offer of Modi. She has proven that Money is not everything in life. Her husband died in the performance of his duties and achieved martyrdom. He will always be remembered for his sincerity and devotion to duty alongwith other fellow officers and members of the armed forces.. May their souls rest in peace.It is the duty of both the central and state governments to take care of the families of those who lay down their lives while performing their duties. We should keep politics away in this time of crisis and work towards building a strong nation free of hatred for others.

the possible fact by Haroon on 01 Dec 2008

It is Modi and company who was saying of narco test of Hemant Karkare so there is a full posiblity that the Mumbai incident is a well planned by bhagwa brigade so the socalled white collered cannot be revealed.

This is a comment by mad islamic fundamentalist who always support ISI's evil designs.

IS Bribe money better then WHITE Money?? by Corpoarte on 30 Nov 2008

REFUSED to WHITE n LEGITAME MONEY and sure appreciable act. We salute the ATS chief and also to those others who died in this operation and equally those who have died in such operations in past though most of them have never been mentioned by Media even when they fought with more courage and saved more lives.WILL IT NOT BE much more appreciated if all POLICE and other GOVT employees families BOLDLY REFUSE the BRIBE money coming to them? Will that not improve situations and help in avoiding such barberic Acts?

Hemand Karkare by rammohan on 30 Nov 2008

Mrs. Karkare's decison not to take money from Gujarat CM is her personal decision. If that is because of Modi's criticism regarding the malegaon blast case then it is upto her to clarify and not others like NDTV to make guess. I hope she will clarify. In Hindu religion there is no enimity when a person dies and that is what exactly Modi had expressed. This was practised when Indira Gandhi, Rajiv gandhi are killed too.Indira gandhi had even allowed to pass a resolution of condolence when Guruji Golwalkar had died. Death erases all enimity. Barkha Dutts are spitting venom on Modi is for TRP rating and obeidience to her masters and I am sure even if she dies Modi will be among the ones who is paying homage. We are still waiting to hear those sympathetic condolences from the likes of Amar Singhs, Arjun singhs, Lalus and Karats who are all studying the details to find fault with BJP and Advani.

Mumbai Massacre by Usman on 30 Nov 2008

This was plain al-qaida/iran/taliban instigated attack against american/Israelis and other western nations. Indians just suffered the carnage and protected everyone from these evil people. It is easy for Israeli's to comment that it was late response. Why have they not able to root out Taliban/Al-Qaida from Afganistan/Pakistan/Iran border areas yet? The people there are not as strong as nations like Israel, America or UK but still their armed forces are not able to root them out. And for Kashmir India has to destabilize Pakistan and fully divide than country into 4-5 separate countries. Pakistan's nuclear capabilities are under US control, and should be if not. And It is in US interest to single out the NW provincial region and root out terrorism.

What a great life partner for a great hero! by Mohamed Ashik on 30 Nov 2008

Even when supreme court to central government fearing to touch Narendra Modi, Mrs.HAMENT KARKARE very boldly denied ONE CRORE RUPEES from Modi.... sorry, from the gujarath government. It is really touching our hearts and what a great and wife for a great man. They are the example for all government officers and their families. While one person refusing to accept white money for a matter hounouring of her husband's non biased investigation, it is understandable that how straight forwarded Mr.Hement Karkare would be in his life. We can never forget this great officer.

In response to the money offered to martyrs. by Madhavi on 01 Dec 2008

The great officer would never be forgotten but the reply of Karkare's wife to ministers is a bold and courageous one which shows the due respect of his family towards him.And of course the ministers will also get the taste of anger and hatred that they have built up in the minds of the families of the martyrs and the whole nation.

Sadest Day as mumbain.I am disappointed on our security agnecies how easy they come and can do in my city.Where are trillion of tax we mumbain pay go.Is it for hunting Pirate ships or guard us ?

Trading virtues by Naresh on 29 Nov 2008

How can the gujarathi weigh the loss of maharashtra police personnel in the terror attack? The loss of ATS Chief and also ordinary constables cannot be measured in terms of money.Modi should know that very well.Modi cannot evaluate such things as honesty, sincerety, courage and other virtues like a trader.

Big Mouth Anti-National Muslims by JP Hindu on 29 Nov 2008

It is beyond my imagination that the muslim community want to fault hindus and hindu organizations. Despite knowing that ISI, Deccan mujaheds were involves, they dare to tweak the truth! The truth must come out and Mr Modi must be prosecuted if he had taken gun and killed holly cow innocent muslims in Gujarat, instead Gujratis were foolish that they re-elected him twice?? Common mullahs, have some respect of common sense for Gujaratis. It is OK for you to not remember that your community started Godhara killings of Hindus. Its OK that pundits were ethnically cleansed from Kashmir and all you want to do is kill Narendra Modi, just like Ghori did 18th time to Prithviraj Chavhan of Gujarat. Not gonna happen, bring it on and yes we hindus hate both BJP and Congress for gross incompetence on not fulfilling the Ayodhya promise. Now that you muslims want to remember your story, hindus get it: It's OK to shoot bullets in masjids, throw grendes in muslim areas. We get it.

Modi - Karkare by Narendra on 29 Nov 2008

The news can not be believed . The widow of Karkare will be mourning today after funeral and wont think she would give any type statements at this juncture . It is media misinterpretation . Modi infact said that he would give 1cr to Maharashtra Govt for dibursement to the shahids .

Mr Modi should provide security to Gujaratis at lowest tax by Jatin Patel on 29 Nov 2008

Thank You Ms Karkare. The Chief Minister of Gujarat needs to use the money to strenghten the maritime defense to kill those pakistani rascals and Indian muslim rascals.

Departing is a sweet sorrow by Syed S.H. on 29 Nov 2008

It is very sad to learn that Mr. Heman Karkare left us and his dedicated and sincere work remain unaccomplished. He was a very distinguished and very loyal person and we rarely have such personality in millions.. I really salute him and I pray to Almighty to rest his soul in peace and give patience to his wife and children...I have no words to express my feelings for his wife who has shown her Loyalty towards HER Husband character and work by refusing Mr. Modi offer....

Condolences! by N. S. Rao on 29 Nov 2008

Condolences! It has been a very sad experience for me, to watch the most efficient police officers (priceless in a country burdened with corruption) of the country lost to mindless violence. Mrs. Karkare has done the right thing by refusing the fund--I think the right fund would be to nurture police officers like Mr. Karkare, but not pay money for the services rendered. This incident should also serve as an example for the citizens to realize the need to force the politicians to enforce reforms in the police, as directed by the Supreme Court. Let us all come together, join hands in bringing change required to nurture police officers like Mr. Karkare. Let his memory be alive through the reflection of his values in the future police force.

hats off by Suresh Iyer on 29 Nov 2008

Modi and Bush are nightmares for terrorists and their sympathisers. To play cheap politics over the dead body of her husband is unbecoming of any decent lady.I think some hidden hands( pseudo secular variety) is playing behind the scene.Probably a bigger offer must have been made to underplay Modi's gesture.The slain officer himself made hay while the going was good and hogged a lot of limelight in screenplay writing of Hindu terror.It is a travesty of fate that he met his end at the hands of the very people whom he tried to whitewash through his investigations. However hats off to his courage in having volunteered to face up to the attackers.
