Frustration in Border Security ForceBy: suresh | Tuesday , 20 Oct '09 17:04:29 PM Reply | Forward Sir,I request you to highlight the subject. Some points are mentioned under which is creating frustation in border security force: 1. An officer in bsf is still deputy commandant after 15 to 16 yrs of service and his counterpart enrolled in the same year through cpos exam is either 2ic or commandant. However army officer becomes lt col in 12 years and gets pay band 4 however bsf officer is likely to become 2ic after 17 to 18 yrs of service but he will remain in pay band 3. 2. Army personnels posted anywhere like in army hq delhi get full 60 days of annual leave, 28 days of casual leave and ration money. However personnels posted in bsf hq at places like bandipur, kupwara in srinagar and same type of places in northeast gets only 30 days of annual leave and 8 days of casual leave and no ration money. Now few questions that bsf personnel are generally asking but not getting the satisfactory replies causing frustration in bsf. 1 Are we not staying away from our families? 2 Do we require less days of leave to spend time with family? 3 If we stay in any hq then bsf personnel do not require ration. 4 The courses in bsf are like army and the course covers conventional war subjects to give support to army but still why are we not at par with army in any case? 5 Our bsf act and rule is carbon copy of army act and rule which says bsf is an armed force but why are we not considered as an armed force? 6 Bsf does not have any peace and field of 3years unlike bsf staying in borders or line of control during their full service period then why our allowances are less than army? 7 In all the places of disturbance and line of control bsf units are under the operational command of army brigades doing the same job like army then why bsf is not at par with army? 8 our identities in our villages was of a fauzi and now we are neither fauzi nor police. Why this tragedy? Request a debate on this subject since all higher authorities are IPS officers and have no concern about the bsf personnel.

Information about Terror attackBy: Sanjay Yerunkar | Wednesday , 15 Jul '09 11:23:54 AM Reply | Forward Its always found that media published the information about terror attack, which helps terrorist to change their plan accordingly. I strongly think that there should be some restriction on media which will not allow them to published such information and thereby its kept as confidential which will enable our police force to take corrective action accordingly.

Antiterrorism Vs. TerrorismBy: SHANTANU NAG | Friday , 2 Jan '09 15:55:25 PM Reply | Forward 1)We should create a Universal Security Group for Universalism (USGU). 2)We should create a certain percentage of funds from the security system fund and it should be used for this special group.3)We should recruit the executives, who will do brain wash of others to live with joy and peace and avoid the terrorism.4)Maximum executives must have to be a special character or lawyer. So that they could maintain the Law like the Lord’s Analyzed Wishes.5)The payment of executives will be made from that specific Govt. allocated fund.6)This USGU will find out the similarities of logic from the various religions.7)This USGU will respect all the religions and they will try to find out the scientific causes from those religious philosophies and make understand others, so that public can easily avoid the terrorism.8)This special group’s executives will find out the story of patience, and success of patience and failure of terrorism from every local religious story.

discriminate the minorityBy: esa | Monday , 15 Dec '08 22:19:26 PM Reply | Forward 15 ethnic Indians on hunger strike over Malaysia security lawFifteen ethnic Indians launched a hunger strike in Malaysia on Sunday to demand the abolition of a tough security law which the government says is needed to combat terrorism, organisers said. "The five-day hunger strike is to protest against the draconian Internal Security Act (ISA) and to demand all detainees are freed," S. Jayathas, coordinator of the rights group Hindraf which organised the strike, told AFP. "The hunger strike is also to demand the government end all injustices in Malaysia and stop discriminating against minority Indians." The ISA, a relic of the British colonial era when it was used to fight a communist insurgency, allows for renewable two-year periods of detention without trial. Malaysia's government says it is a vital tool to fight terrorism, but rights groups say the law has been improperly used to silence government critics, and that detainees are mentally and physically tortured. Rights groups say 70 people, mainly alleged Islamic militants, are being held under the ISA. The protesters are staging their hunger strike at a small temple north of Kuala Lumpur. Some of those taking part are relatives of five ethnic Indian leaders of Hindraf, who are being held under the ISA. The five, one of whom is a state lawmaker, were arrested after enraging the government last November by mounting a mass rally alleging discrimination against Malaysia's minority ethnic Indians. Ethnic Indians make up less than eight percent of the 27-million-strong population of the mainly Muslim Malay country. Jayathas said the protesters would only consume water during the strike.
