Shameless politicians by An express reader on 29 Nov 2008

It's very sad to know that our politicians weigh everything on the scale of money.The brave hearted police officers lost their lives for the sake of the country.Their lives were invaluable.Does Narendra Modi thinks that Gujarat government's one crore rupees fill the gap in those martyrs families? Our shameless politicians can not understand the value of those selfless martyrs' sacrifice.Our politicians want to weigh their sacrifice in monetary units,they do not care about their family's sorrow and feelings. Shame on our stone hearted politicians!!!!!

My condolences to the Karkare family by C. Deepa on 29 Nov 2008

The dignity and self control shown by the Karkare family is inspiring. I would not be able to attend the last rites of my husband in such a dignified, stoic manner. The children's self control was commendable too. They have been put through trauma on an international stage, and they have held their heads high.

KARAKRE FACE OFF by D.PATEL on 29 Nov 2008

I respect Karkare as he died for country but no one should forget that he was very much busyunder pressure of politician to fix Hindus, and As a Head of ATS he was absolutely fail to save Mumbai from terrorist. I dnt understand why Modi has to offer her help. infact it need to go under inquiry that how Terrorist have passage to Mumbasi ..and what all police officer are doing to protect Mumbai.He died as part of his duty but is good he died otherwise he was in jail ..like DG VANJARA of Gujarat

Terror in Bombay by Ramesh Padmanabhan on 29 Nov 2008

All the underworld dons are from Bombay. The rumour is that Dawood has given the logistics support for this operation. Time and again the Dawood and Chotta Shakeel have proved the nemiisis for peace and stability in Bombay.We also have Raj Thackery and MNS outfit who beat and kill innocent people. Whenever there is an issue in Bombay the sena's take Bombay for a ride. We have illegal Bangaladesh residents in Bombay and they have not been removed just for the assured vote bank enjoyed by all political parties.The POTA is not implemented by the current Government , just to apease minority for the purpose of vote in the coming election. The terrorist who attaacked the parliament are yet to be punished. We are proving to be weak and meek and we tollerate all aggression against our mother land. To be in power our leaders are not doing anything and are sending message that vested interest across the border can take our country for a ride. Let sense prevail over politics.

Wife of Karkare declines help from Modi by Vinodkumar on 29 Nov 2008

I am proud of this Indian Maharashtrian woman . This is the real maratha pride that is chatrapati sivaji's legacy. The service is for the country and the prosperous maratha land . The Gujarati baniya wealth is secondary for such an ideology . Jai Bharat Mata , Jai Maharashtra

Irresponsible Media by Rahul Sharma on 29 Nov 2008

This news report betrays your biased attitude. In current times we need leaders like Modi who can act tough on terrorism and not the spineless bunch of idots who are running the country. While petty politicians like Arjun Singh and Ram Vilas Paswan have been taking sides of terrorists and Bangladeshis with an eye on their vote bank, you're busy poking finger at Modi. You've no guts to call spade a spade. To hell with your secularism.

Yes, Great decision by radhakrishan on 29 Nov 2008

Well done Ms.Karkare. There we can read the involvement of Modi

Modi's crocodile tears by Naveed on 29 Nov 2008

Narendra Modi is playing dirty politics even at the time of country's greatest grief. He, along with other BJP and RSS leaders were threatening Mr. Hemant Karkare of dire consequences for probing Sadhavi and Purohit. Now, after the brave man's death, Modi is shedding the crocodile tears and I'm sure within he is happy that the noble officer is dead and so is the Malegaon probings.

Blame Game by sumair on 29 Nov 2008

We pakistani are also sad on this occasion, this was very bad...but we could not understand that when the terrorist were in mumbai from 1 month thne how come any intelligence force could not cought any single guy or tress any single call that made by them to pakistan,and after 1 hour of getting attach intellegence agencies got a colue that pakistan involved in this.. this is not a responsible way,this is just balme game,if gov security fails any time they put all the blame on pakistan,let ma ask one question what abt samjhota express case.indian politician did same thing,puted responsiblity on pak but after investigation WHO WAS THE RESPONSIBLE..is indian army officer also taking dictation form pak gov and doing terorist activities in india(MALIGAON Blast) who was involve there.In indai 14 states are fighting for freedom.Kashmir, Nagaland,and etc..any body could invone in this.so plz investigate properly 1st and then blame with proof.we all wants that responsible shd get punished.thx

Real Issue by just a person on 29 Nov 2008

It is sad that so many people lost their lives. It is a complete breakdown of intelligence gathering. There has to be accountability for this monumental failure in order not to repeat another similar incident. Based on what we were told so far, it appears that there is a shift. It is no longer just against Hindus or perceived intolerance for India. They appear to come from various parts of the world and target various races or groups. The targets and modus operandi of these sub-humans have changed. We may succeed in identifying perpetrators and their affiliations. I am not sure that will be the end of next set of barbaric acts. When vermins invade ones house, one would need not only clear them but also the source and conditions that breed them. What is common among these perpetrators who seem to span countries even continents? What are they being taught to take innocent lives? Where do they breed? Identifying and addressing these global issues may probably address this evil. Jai Hind.

A salut to Mr. Karkae and family by Abdul Aziz on 29 Nov 2008

Mrs. Karkare, May his soul rest in peace and God give you and your children strength to recover from this crucial situation. Hindu, Muslim, Christian or you name it …... that who ever had a real heart with humanity, there will be a place for Mr. Karkare and his family. Right or wrong you are right and we will stay for right together always. Jai Hind.

Refusing an opportunist's offer by Khalid Faridi on 29 Nov 2008

When the goings get tough, the tough gets going. Salute to ATS chief for his duty towards his fellow beings. And salute to his wife for refusing Modi's offer. She was expected to show her corage and human face against people like Modi. And she did just that. Thanks Ms. Karkare

Shame on MOdi by P Neri on 29 Nov 2008

Modi, Karkare by S.C. on 29 Nov 2008

I ccannot believe that the news appearing in the IE is true that Mrs. Karkare has refused to accept money from Modi. This is Indian Express hatred campaign against Modi.

great refusal by Ashiq on 29 Nov 2008

We pay our respect to Mr. Hemant Karkare for the great duty he has done to the country. We also appreciate his wife for turning down Modi's offer. Modi and comapny may be responsible for bringing in the international terrorists for the atrocities Modi and his gang has carried out in Gujarat and other parts of India. He might have offered the money for his happiness of seeing Mr.Karkare dead. If he was alive, the investigation may end up with Modi and Sangh parivar the main culprits in Malagaon and other blasts occurred in India as everyone knows. Seeing Modi in Mumbai was like a big Tamasha of the year.

Karkare wife declines modis compensation by citizen for peace on 29 Nov 2008

Brilliant!How can anybody accepts help from somebody who is (in)directly responsible for the death of their beloved.Any person with a normal thinking capacity can understand that the murder is orchestrated by BJP.BJP has benifitted immensely by the death of hero Hemant Karkare.After all it is the question of BJPs future as Hero Hemanth Karkare was about to reveal thepart played by BJP in all the terrorist activities that took place in the country in recent past.BJP should stop shedding crocodile tears as it is the party which has gained the most by this attacks.

Mumbai terror attack by bharat on 29 Nov 2008

Refusing money is a personal choice. That does not mean that Modi's action was wrong. In fact he has always done this consistently for all riots. Modi is a true nationalist. We need people like Modi who do something because they really feel for it. That is the power of conviction. Some may disagree with him which is a different matter. There is no future for this country under this weak congress Govt. The lady at the helm of affairs is no brave person nor her son. Its time for a change in Govt and I hope people will make a decision soon. This lame duck Govt must go.
