ENOUGH IS ENOUGH Please be honest and transperent in informing correct news.I am really ashamed a hand full terrorists (20year and odds) an cause so much havock? Where were these Shivsena,Bajarang dal,Raj thackerey? I think busy colleting HAFTA ? Where was the Indian pride in our politicians? no one gave any statement except PMship aspirer Advani. Atleast these people should have been attending the funerals of our brave heros who have fallen defending our beloved Indian pride.Jai Hind.

Those illeterate...By: Hare Krhsn | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:08:32 PM Reply | Forward Those people who are not well educated becomes bad and distributes hates to many people, eventually those bad people will have habit of killings many people,it is Pakistan which is total lawless and distributes bad to all the world,this is how British intelligence confirmed that those two slain terrorists were British-Pakistani origin!!!! I wish that all the world should never trust Pakistan at all unless they are educated. I rate that education is very very important than challenging (using the brain not stomach)

Think deeperBy: sairam sathyakumar | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:02:33 PM Reply | Forward Attack may be by LeT, but deeper motive of powerful financiers based Dubai fearingthat Mumbai-Bombay has the potentiality to become Asia's financial center.West and Americans may bless a new Bombay duplicate of Hong Kong, Dubai who have invested much, to attract the Financial world with an ensnaring new City West would love. Again they can create internal dislocation via young Thakre, so Indian v Indian will help them. Underworld of good old Indian smugglers, still arrange bed fellows of our Leaders.

QuestionsBy: Milind Sapre | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:38:35 PM Reply | Forward A few questions we need to ask ourselves:- Who has been funding attacks in India since 1992?- Why don't we demand him to be handed over?- Why do we tolerate nexus between politicians and anti social elements?- Why are the hijackers of Indian Airlines plane still scott free in Pakistan?- Why does it take 24 hours for the Prime Minister to make a statement?- Who is the commander in chief when a disaster strikes? Do we rely on politicians in times of crisis?- Why was there no Crisis response plan ?- How can terrorists enter our country so easily?- Why are commandos talking directly to the press?- What impression have we given to the rest of the world?- Are we so focussed on financial growth that we leave our doors and windows wide open for attacks?- Why do we tolerate the Chief Minister of a state that shamelessly claims that he has no negotiators?- Why are we so "tolerant"? Why do we not respect our own lives?- Why don't we (people, government) take action?

Counter terrorismBy: Ajay | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:05:54 PM Reply | Forward Ways to counter terrorism is to give free hand to state police departments. Let them be proactive and raid all the places such as Madarassas, Mandir's, Churches and Gurudwars's to flush out terrorist taking shelters there. Also, raid the areas notorious for harbouring Dawoods henchman in the city and costline of Maharashtra and Gujrath. It is not possible to carry out this kind of operation without support from likes of Dawood Ibrahim. Police should blankly ignore politician's call of not targeting this community or that community. We always hear clarion calls from UPA leadership to not targeting Muslim community, I say nobody should be spared. If not terrorist I am sure police will find many illegal suspected Banladeshi's in these raids. Instead of putting them in jail, profile them and send them to forced hard labour camps and make them work there until somebody comes and vouch them with their legality, if not let them die their doing hard labour.

I wish soBy: coomon Indian | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:39:24 PM Reply | Forward I wish so. but corruptionis so dominat that dedicated officials and staff sare not able to give their best. remove corruption and make a transparent fair and just system of government so that professionalism can be grown. we are best of the brains and strongest of the hands but collectively we are not as good simply becuase of corruption. lets make our india worth dying for.

DO SOMETHING MANBy: Sreenivasan Jain | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 18:47:51 PM Reply | Forward With the spineless home minister like Patil and other Cabinet Ministers including PM who take permission from Madam even before going to loo, can we expect some stern action from this government, the clear answer is NO. This is a good opportunity for BJP to prove it to voters of India that Congress is soft on terror, who has not dared to hang Afjal Guru even after Supreme Court verdict, just for the sake of Muslim votes. We can definetely say now that Desh Bhagwan Bharose chal raha hai, if there is any Government than do not wait for Bhagwan to perform miracles, DO SOMETHING MAN!!!!!!!

we can do a lotBy: common indian | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:43:02 PM Reply | Forward sreenivasan, we can do a lot. participate in the government functioning. dont allow the democracy to remain focussed to bureaucrates and polticians, but force it to be welfare state for the citizenry. watch their working through RTI and give feed back so that they can be accountable for their omissions and commissions.

India's response to militant attackBy: Baru Rajendra Prasad | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 18:19:10 PM Reply | Forward Sir, Militant acts in Mumbai resulting in hundreds of deaths and injuries are all the result of The weak UPA Government of Manmohan Singh.Bomb Blasts in New Delhi, Hyderabad, Bangalore and Ahmedabad did not prompt quick and punitive action against terrorists embolding them to try further attacks.India like USA must enter Pakistan to destroy Laskar and other militant camps that India claims to be in existance on Pak soil.President Bush' ferociously chasing Al Quida throughout the Globe be it Afghanistan,Iraq or Pakistan had seen "Peace" throughout America post 9/11.Has India gutts to attack militant camps in Pakistan the way Bush had done ?If yes India can have a safe future or else become a laughing stock in the eyes of the entire Globe and be termed a coward.

response!!!By: hulkhan | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 18:03:02 PM Reply | Forward nothing to worry about. Indian response is very predictable. ATS will find a few more sadhvis and pakistan can rest and relax

Need of the hour - Courage and DeterminationBy: A.NATARAJAN | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 17:58:33 PM Reply | Forward This attack is master-minded by Pakistan based terrorist outfits only, whiich has the blessings of ISI. Dawood Ibrahim is very much in Pakistan. Whether they are not aware of the fact? Then why the hell they are keeping quiet. Our Government has demanded for that dreaded criminal time and again, whereas these Pakistanis are talking only about Kashmir and visiting Delhi for the so called peace talks. It is time for India to take very strong action including military action, if things are not going to take proper shape. We are not interested in these so called peace talks and non-sense at the cost of our lives and properties. Atleast now the Government should wake up from its deep slumber and take some concrete decisions, however bitter it may be. I pray God to give some intelligence and courage to this useless UPA Government, which is only interested in retaining power, vote bank politics and pacifying the temper of UPA useless partners.
