AK Anthony was part of the Marad massacres. by n.krishna on 27 Nov 2008

We are unable to do anything about Dawood Ibrahim who was the mastermind of 1993 Bomaby serial blasts. In Marad at the coastal area in Kozhikode of Kerala, communal riot was started by Muslims on Friday 3rd January 2002 and by next day at least five persons were killed and 65 injured. Communal clashes were started by Muslims on 4th January 2002, in Karnataka’s Uttar Kannad district, and also in Lakshman Garh of Sikar district in Rajastan when Muslims entered a temple and broke three idols. On Friday 2nd May 2003 groups of Muslims landed on Marad beach on boats and butchered 9 Hindus and injured 18 others with total impunity. They escaped by the sea route. AK Anthony was the CM of Kerala when Marad massacres. The previous day Anthony had withdrawn the police posted in Marad. Later E Ahmad removed the weapons used for Marad massacre in the nearby mosque with total impunity. E Ahmad had rendezvous with the terrorists who sponsored Marad massacre, in a hotel at Saudi Arabia.

SNUFF OUT THE TERRORISTS by Vikrama.N on 27 Nov 2008

It is high time that Government should annihilate the terrorists who have holed up in the hotel. Enough of innocent lives have lost already and brave soldiers laid their life.Government should not spare any means in killing the terrorists and send strong signals. A detailed enquiry and action plan required to nail the people who might have helped these terrorists a safe house and spring suprise attack on iinnocent people.People should not forgive the centre and state government if they fail to act on terrorism to appease muslims.Failing which Government will have to pay a heavy price.

It is a war out there by terrorist muslims planning organizing terror on a national scale. by n.krishna on 27 Nov 2008

It is a war out there by terrorist muslims planning organizing terror on a national scale. We are afraid to travel by air, train or bus. Visiting a theatre, we are worried of the muslims in the theatre. Visiting a shopping mall or a parking lot we are worried about the presence of muslims there. How long we can go on like this. Muslims once they read the Koran will become terroritst. The Kerala muslims who were responsible for the 1921 massacre of Hindus in the moppila lahala. But the communist govt of Kerala declared them as freedom fighters and gave them pension meant for the freedom fighters. E Ahamad is a terrorist who removed the marad wepons stored in the mosque by the muslims. He is also a Hawala operator. In Kochi a container full of weapons meant for training muslim terrorists were confiscated. While muslims are in a killing spree, the christians have taken over the congress party and missionaries are attacking our homes for converting us to christianity.

Right movements by Cal on 27 Nov 2008

Weather its Cong or BJP…I think things are going the right way. If there were no citizens out there as hostage I am sure 30 minutes of cross fire is enough to end this bunch of crap. But that’s not the case, the aim of any ruler is to protect its fellow citizen first who are someone’s brother, sister, mother, father etc.

Let Jayalatlitha and Narendara Modi rule the country, all the terrorrists will be shot down by kumar on 27 Nov 2008

Politicians are only busy in saving their seats.They want security for themselves but are least intresred in the security of the country whom they have made hollow and filled their own homes.seen the Bombay tragedyThis is the Worst Scenario, the intelligence wing has to work harder to avoid such situations happening in India, If the Terrorists have come through boats and landed in Mumbai its by the help of the locals. The Govt has to nail all the locals who are involved in helping the terrorists enter Indian soil.While everybody is writing here so many things about the security forces on one seemed to be bothered about the fire men who are doing a slient and wonderful duty. They are the unsung heroes, They are doing three jobs. Dousing the fire, resucing people and are offerring themselves as targets for the terror attacks that too totally unarmed, My salutes to the brave firemen and the fire department, No paper, channel or even the people here have mentioned a word about thes

TERROR by yohan on 27 Nov 2008

our coast guards should be more effective. binoculars of high power and distance should be given to them. also coast guards should be deployed at various locations where they can see each thru bonoculars. also our border security should be strengthened. there is no point in every time on cross border terrorism, which we have been hearing since a long time. surprising that no govt could take effective action to curb it, instead of every second day when an incident occurs, uttering the word ' across the border, other country, etc. everybody knows from where it comes. recruit more security personnel and it will be a good opportunity for employment.

catch them alive by Jayanta Dutta on 27 Nov 2008

If our security forces/police can use some sort of gas in the hotel rooms where the terrorists are taking shelters and make them uncounscious it is possible to catch them alive and all the people or parties involved can be traced.

Terrorism has a religion of Islam by Mrs Bhanumati on 27 Nov 2008

It is unfortunate that when more than 10,000 islamic terrorists attacks happened on hindus then damaging Hindu reputation by framing charges on Pragya and Purohit issue was motivated effort of UPA and our Secular Media.I saw so many debates on Malegaon and felt we indians do not know our history in depth. The reason probably is secular government is hiding the truths about Islam from history books and school books. Godse's books is banned in India because he raised his voice for hindus and India in 1947. We all indians only hates Godse because our government taught us since our childhood. Islam is a religion of terrorism since its inception. Islam was enforced to other civilised people by violence and forces after raping non-muslim women and killing their husbands. Islam never co-exist with any non-muslims if muslim population increases by 12%.

ILLEGAL TOP POSITION FOR AN INCOMPETENT JUNIOR POLICEMAN DESTROYED THE MORALE by n.krishna on 27 Nov 2008

THE ILLEGAL APPOINTMENT OF A N ROY IS AN EXAMPLE HOW THE ITALIAN CHRISTIAN SONIA IS DESTROYING OUR INSTITUTIONS. CAT HAD RULED THAT HE SHOULD BE REMOVED LONG BACK. YET HE IS STILL IN POSITION. THIS SHOWS THAT SONIA IS FILLING UP THE SENIOR POLICE POSTS WITH CHRISTIANS AND THIS HAD DEMORALIZED THE MAHARASTRA POLICE FORCE.

Integence failure. by John on 27 Nov 2008

It is so pathetic to read irresponsible comments of my fellow country men. Some say BJP will save India. Can I ask what they did when the our flight was highjacked by taliban? This is not just the problem of any single political party or a few leaders. Even after reaching the moon, we failed to trace our waters for intrutions. We are lacking technology and people to do a better job. Pls understand that no politition has ever faught a war. We need a stronger intellegence system, satelitte moniroty, survilence cameras, easy deployable arm system, etc. Not POTA and TADA. Also this is time to show solidarity, not the time to sell fanatisism.

bjp did it by ram kumar on 27 Nov 2008

advani and modi are responsible for these attacks. belive it or not they are the real suckers.

counter attacking terrorists by soorya s bhat on 27 Nov 2008

It is really very pity that the police carry guns which look like the one used for hunting, heavy and in effective against sophisticated weapons. The helmet worn by the ATS chief was like a cricket hat and not covers the face, his bullet proof jacket was like wrestlers loose sando banyan. why dont they provide full sleved full covered jackets, if it was the case the ATS chief would not have died. this is very poor and in competitive system we use where we fail to combat terrorist and cause un ncecessary casualities. also we do not have small tankers of the size of one square meter, which can be driven in side the buildings and rooms. cant we afford robot operated secuirty system also, where terrorists can be easily counter attacked?

SOLVE DISPUTES-THE ONLY WAY OUT by Sohail on 27 Nov 2008

India first need to think to solve all the disputes with its neighbours i.e China, pakistan and b'desh then secondly introduce a poltical representation to Muslims in country and third then crackdown all the terrorist elements within the country.All these decisions need a poltical will which lacks in india because may not suit the presently dominated poltical parties. If indian politician were really sincere towards people then they would have done it long back. Hope the day will come when this will be reality and peace will prevail in region.

SOMEBODY SHOULD TAKE RESPONSIBLITY by sandeep on 27 Nov 2008

Mr Shivraj patil should resign ...he has failed as a home minister... if ATS chief of a state can be killed how can common man feel safe.

Convicts of 1993 are free by Kes on 27 Nov 2008

Let us remember that those convicted of 1993 Mumbai blasts after a rigorous 14-year trial were quickly granted bail by CJI of Supreme Court KG Balakrishnan. Let us hope these terrorists are not taken alive.
