Terror Attack: 'It's a failure on part of CRPF'

Lucknow, January 1: Terming the attack on a CRPF camp at Rampur a ‘failure’ on the part of the force, Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati said the state government had alerted the Central security agency about the threat much in advance.

"Rampur district officials some time ago had met the CRPF officials and asked them to take necessary precautions and the incident indicates laxity on their part," she said and termed the attack as an act of cowardice.

Refusing to accept the attack as a failure on the part of her government, Mayawati said the state government had acted in accordance with the intelligence input about the threat perception to the CRPF camp and had also alerted the officials of the CRPF camp and ‘failure, if any, is on their part’.

Asked as to how terrorists reached the camp, the Chief Minister said even if the terrorists had reached the camp it was the duty of the CRPF, who had already been informed of the threat, ‘to teach them (terrorists) a lesson’.

In a pre-dawn attack, heavily-armed militants on Tuesday struck at a CRPF camp in Rampur, killing eight persons, including seven security personnel, and laving five others injured.

Stressing the need for Centre's help in dealing with the rising cases of terrorism in Uttar Pradesh, Mayawati requested the Centre to work together in countering the challenge.

Taking a dig at the Central government, the Chief Minister said the terrorists influx was not a recent event as ‘international borders of the country are unsafe and terrorists have already made inroads in different parts of the country’.

RRS Border Forces by Vivekanand Deshbhakt on 03 Jan 2008

I appreciate Syed Zainuabedin's observation: Put all RSS men on the frontier to guard the border invincibly.During Shri A. B. Bajpai's regime a neighbouring country gathered very sensitive and classified intelligence on Kashimir from an IAS officer who was Director [Kashmir Desk] in the Home Ministry. Women journalists, who were used as honey traps for collecting sensitive intelligence, had showered favours on the IAS officer. Goverment of India got alarmed as Indian intelligence agencies' reports started pouring indicating leakage of classified information to the enemy country. Indian agents and informers drafted for similar jobs were being killed like street dogs there.But nothing happened to the blessed/privileged IAS officer who is the son-in-law of a Central Minister, a Bhumihar from Bihar in Bajpayee Government. Home Minister Shri L. K. Advani, famed as the ironman, allowed him scot free to go to Bihar within a year of deputation. What he did was simply treason with the Nation. Imagine what would have happened if the IAS was a dalit, backward, minority?

Terrorist attacks in country by C R Sharma on 02 Jan 2008

Mayavati is famous of putting blame on others, what about attacks in Varanasi and Ayodhya. All parties and Governments should work together and put an end to terror without any consideration of votebank.

Don't repeal POTA by kumar on 02 Jan 2008

Centre should not have scrapped the anti-terrorism legislation POTA, it's an useful instrument in punishing terrorists and confiscating funds associated with the menace. UPA is trying to please its allies who are Linked to Terrorist groups in repealing POTA. UPA should consult the army, paramilitary forces and the state police who are dealing with terrorism day-in-and-day-out and not but not the least the widows who lost their husbands if fighting terrorists. Security forces have been fighting terrorists risking their own lives and how can congress justify scraping a law that is specially designed for that (fighting terrorists)?." There have been some abuse of POTA, which law in India had not been abused. "Even IPC (Indian Penal Code) has been abused. Does that mean that one scraps IPC ?." NDA Government tried to provide safeguards in POTA and did it and had told the then opposition to offer suggestions to that extent

Terrorism by TheReal Sporer on 02 Jan 2008

There is really only one way to deal with the jihad and that is to repudiate it morally and exterminate its physical manifestations.

So called 'Moderate' idiot by Shivam on 02 Jan 2008

First of all stop using multiple names to press ur point as if two people are saying it. It is obvious u are posting under different names. This exposes your first lie.Second stop talikng about use of foul language because u are the one who has been name calling and using offensive language, u are a hypocirte.Third stop generalising your opinion as of 'us Hindus', I am a Hindu as much as any one can be, and I dont authorise u to speak you for me.Forth stop creating the well known tactic of creating a straw man for oponents position .i.e. discussing something irrevelant. and last but not least, if u are not happy go lick boots of ur Madam or 'M' leader , and be contended and stay there.

terrorism by laxman singh on 02 Jan 2008

I agree am an idiot. Like i said before we never learn from history.Thanks for calling me worse than terrorist. My only sugggestion is do not raise your tempers, those who have died today are martyrs, we cannot raise to their level. Atleast let us elect leaders who will deal with terrorism in an effective manner, this is the minimum we can do for them

Security lapses. by Aryan on 02 Jan 2008

In congress rule, Indian soldiers r loosing there lives daily. I dont know y the Central government is not taking concrete steps to strenthen the security network. Now once congress loving Muslims would be in army i think it would be painful for congress to loose them and it might take some steps. Hindus in Congress rule have always been loosers.

Sometimes you are after us Hindu's,sometimes you do not like christians,some times you do not like muslims, sometimes you do not like jew, some times you do not like Dalits .... whom do you like you al-qaida like rascal? by "nautankee" on 02 Jan 2008

Shivam or what so ever your real name is-The things you are writing here does not make sense!Calling a women a Kutia (bitch) is not the in our Hindu Sanskriti,but your petrol pump chor brothers used these words for a women (Sonia Gandhi) who lost her mother-in-law and husband in the hands of terrorists.Come out and explain your STRAW SHIT TO ALL OF US SO THAT WE COULD UNDERSTAND!We Hindu's are normally very good people but if you fanatics mess with us then we will take you jerks to task.As a Hindu,i am aware of the fact that there are Islamic terrorists related or associated to al-qaida like networks,but the majority of Muslims are not terrorists they too like us others are fighting hard to implement democracy in Pakistan,Afganistan,Darfur etc.but jerks like you are letting these people down.Because you sanghi shit are apeing al-qaida and like them you want to run India.You jerks can rot in hell.........

Moderates vs. Extermists by Bharatiya on 02 Jan 2008

To Mr. Sivaram... Ask yourself what is the opposite of a "moderate" and then ask if, given an opportunity, you will prefer them to be in helm in India. And then ask yourself what will happen to us a country if the opposites of those moderates are allowed to run a century old diverse civilization like ours. And finally ask yourself if the solution of one form of extermism (islamic) is to replace this with another equally virulent form of extremism propagated by the organisations and people you are speaking for. One great man has said, the most addictive form of drugs in this world is religion. Make religion an excuse and you can justify anything in this world to anybody. This is what is happening in our country. In their attempt to grab power, few people are trying to promote a "sky is falling on us hindus" argument and asking us to do things that not only jeoparadises our journey to regain our lost glory as a civilisation but also negates everything that hinduism stands for. The reality is that hinduism has never been stronger. This religion has not only survived worse but also flourished in spite of being subjected to multiple rounds of genocides, the scales of which makes the nazi termination of jews look like street fights. Give it a thought with an open mind Mr. Sivaram.. Give it a thought before some idiot deletes this post.

Straw man creation and foul language by Shivam on 02 Jan 2008

Classic Straw man logic in previous post! News here is about Islamic Terrorists attack on CRPF! WHat it has got to with petrol pump allotments by some ministers?remeber straw man in the khet? PUTLA? this guy is making a putla- and then beating that putla. and deviating from original point.

THEY MAY EVEN SELL THEIR MOTHER TO ANY INDIAN OUTSIDE ENEMY.CORRUPTED BASTARDS ARE GADDARS DISGUISED AS DESH BHAKTS...........CHOR DEH PUTTRON, IF I CATCH I WILL F**CK YOU BASTARDS. by "Nautankee" on 02 Jan 2008

Dear chor deh puttron, Pakistan is hell bent to destroy Congress which fought for India's honnour.Also in 2008 Kashmir is a part of of India, and thanks to the Congress (though i hate some of the corrupted Congressis) and the fact remains that it was the Congress which stood by us hindu's in the 1965 and 1971 war.Those achar deh putter dubbing Congress as an anti-Hindu party should answer as to why Advani was ready to meet terrorist like Kashmiri sepratists? Why is Dwoood Ibrahim associated to Advani and Sushma Swaraj?Why did he (Dawood Ibrahim) fund BJP as claimed by Madan Lal Khurana? Why did Advani all of a sudden declared Jinnah as secular? As a matter of fact Pakistan was created on the base of religion then how come Jinnah was secular? Why did Nathu kill Mahatma Gandhi?What role did Savarkar play in the assassination of Mahatma Gandhi? Why was BJP's Bangaru ready to sell the defence secrets of India to any Indian enemy? Why is Babbar Khalsa being trained by the ISI? Why is the extremist elemet related to Babbar khalsa active under the present Punjab Government which includes the BJP? Why is VHP and RSS keen to have good relations with Tamil Tigers abroad?

Straw man...continued by Shivam on 02 Jan 2008

So this 'Straw Man'is Hindu Terrorism- (created by pseudo secularists and their brothers).By creating this 'Straw Man' of Hindu Terrorism they start beating this straw man by statements like Hindu terrorism is as bad as islamic terrorism and put Hindus in guilt or defensive mode for something that doesnt exists.The topic here is Islamic terrorism not uprise of Hindu conciuoness, dont create a straw man u so calle stupid moderates, we know your game.

' THE STRAW MAN'- WAY of logic by Shivam on 02 Jan 2008

A straw man argument is an informal fallacy based on misrepresentation of an opponent's position.[1] To "set up a straw man" or "set up a straw man argument" is to create a position that is easy to refute, then attribute that position to the opponent. Often, the straw man is set up to deliberately overstate the opponent's position. A straw man argument can be a successful rhetorical technique (that is, it may succeed in persuading people) but it is in fact a misleading fallacy, because the opponent's actual argument has not been refuted.THIS IS WHAT POST MODI SECULARIST’S AGENDA IS. CREATE A STRAW MAN- BY EQUATING HINDU DEFIANCE AND REACTIVE HARDENING TO ISLAMIC TERRORIST, THUS MAKING THEM FEEL GUILTY OF THEIR STAND. BEWARE OF THIS NEW PSEUDO MANTRA- BY NEW BORN ‘SECULARISTS’-THE MODERATES!

Laxman Singh.. You are an idiot by sw on 02 Jan 2008

Laxman Singh...You are an idiot who does not know anything about India and problems here. Being an Indian I hate to say but people like you need to be put in some re-education camp where you should be forced to learn history, logic and common sense. Ignorants like you are as dangerous as those terrorists.

Nathu deh putter are no better tha al-qaida deh putter...... by "nautankee" on 02 Jan 2008

Pakistan is hell bent to destroy Congress in India,because this is the only party which has saved India.It has also saved Kashmir.Why was Advani holding meetings with kashmiri terrorist likes?Why was Advani involved in hawala? Why was Dawood Ibrahims name involved with sushma Swaraj and Advani?According to Madan Lal Khurana,Dawood Ibrahim funded BJP.What sor of shit game you you bastards playeing with us Hindu's? You bastard gaddar's, you blame those who fought for our independence? Yes,there are blasted and corrupted Congress leaders and they too are rascals,but on the whole Congress is the one which like Indian Superman stood up against external threats,but what shit have you done?your associate was even ready to sell the defence secrets of india to any Indian enemy.You.......

Romesh.Sharma-You are a sanghi liar,under the Congress rule in 1971,Indian soldiers captured more than 100000 Pakistani soldiers in East pakistan and the Indian soldiers freed Mujibur Rehman from the heart of pakistan.You and you fanatic sanghi parivar are big liars as you also deny havning connections with the extremsit Nathu Godse.The fact is,sanghi parivars contribution to India is Nathu Godse and the contribution of al-qaida to Pakistan is the murder ofBenazir Bhutto.you rascals are not not only liars but cheaters as well,because petrol umps would have been allotted to the widows of the BRAVE INDIAN SOLDIERS WHO LAID THEIR LIVES IN KARGIL,BUT YOUR SHAITAN PARIVAR ALLOTTED THEM TO OWN VHP,RSS AND BJP LEADERS.AREN'T YOU ASHAMED OF LIEING? OR IT HAS SIMPLY BECOME A HABIT?

Its a failure of communal Center by Seema on 01 Jan 2008

Its a failure of communal Congress government which is so complacent toward national security.

little correction--- by Romesh.Sharma on 01 Jan 2008

For Vikas Bhatt: the Chinese invasionwasn't 1965 but 1962.In 1965 it was war with Pakistan where India had real tough time and to blame for that weakness was also Congress Party which had failed to strengthen the Nations forces and congresswalas were enjoying luxus lives.During 1971 Indo-Pak war Rajiv and Sonia fled away to Italy with the fears though India had won the war.Congress and congresswalas were and will always be selfishly traitors.Patriotism is not for them.

terrorism by lsingh on 01 Jan 2008

Unfortunately even Mr. Nawaz Sharif the pakisthan prime minister at that time knew who initiated the Kargil war. It was military of pakisthan, taliban and mujahideen of kashmir.But unfortunately they all got defeated. Mr. Sharif could not control any of them. If you think country is safe under sonia then so be it, but dismantle all security and army so the jawans do no waste their precious lives.If congress rule is safe then do not waste your time commenting when innocent jawans, civilians are killed every month under tis rule.

Center asking for report by Kiran on 01 Jan 2008

Iread in Times of India that central govt has asked a report on this attack. There's not enough toilet paper in New delhi?

Need to Act Now by Hamid on 01 Jan 2008

It’s brazen that terrorists can now strike deep within the country. It’s a total failure of intelligence and ability to track the culprits in advance. For the last 5 years such unfortunate events have become a ritual for the right wingers to blame the Muslims and bring out a whipping stick on the whole community. Never before has there been a dire need of the two communities to work together and tackle this menace on war footing. Unfortunately to the BJP this is an occasion to build political capital, and the other political parties fiddle on an unfounded alienation concept of the Muslims. Unfortunately if it continues this way by the time BJP Captures power in 5-10 years, this whole thing will go out of control, a disaster for Muslims and the nation. We surely can kiss our economic miracle goodbye.
