Karkare’s response to a death threat: A 'smiley'

Mumbai: The last days of Maharashtra Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) chief Hemant Karkare were probably some of the busiest in his 26-year career in the Indian Police Service (IPS), and apparently tormented as well. The ATS believed it had cracked the September 29 Malegaon bomb blast case, and about a mont ....Read more

the gladiatorBy: mritunjaya chatterjee | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 21:30:57 PM Reply | Forward salute to you sir, being myself a civil service aspirant you have induced a battery of charge in me. karkare sahab will be remembered by all the indians for his brave deeds. being an officer of IG rank he didnt left his men in difficult times. an engineer, engineered his death the best possible way one can. one thing we must learn from his episode that INDIA comes first. hopefully our politicians will learn it quickly. may his soul rests in peace, my prayers and best wishes are with his family.

VANDE MATARAM!

Ms. KarkareBy: Kuriakose Varkey | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 19:27:23 PM Reply | Forward The most notable news I heard is Ms. Karkare's rejection of Modi's help. Terrorism has raised its ugly head so badly because of polititions like Modi who nurture communal hatred for political gains. Babri Masjid, Gujarat, Orrissa, Malagov series , if continued will keep on killing innocent people and sacrifice lives of dedicated officers and soldiers like Mr. Karkare. Ms Karkare should run as an independant candidate from Bombay to Lok Sabha to mobilize public opinion against dirty tricks by political parties

Karkare - the Indian hero without religious boundariesBy: Asadulgaba | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 16:56:39 PM Reply | Forward I am proud to be an Indian and wish to see the safety and security of all Indians - irrespective of their caste and creed. If people keep supporting extremism (whether Hindus or Muslims) and bring religion to politics, the nation is sure to doom. We have seen our neighbor Pakistan which is literally ruled by terrorists. This is surely the result of religious extremism. Everybody has the liberty to practice and propogate his religion, but not at the cost of disintigeration of the nation. After all we are all Indians. To me it came as a great surprise that at a moment when the historical and daring investigations of Malegaon were undertaken by Karkare (surely he was Indian hero) these attacks came out and resulted in complete stop to those investigations. These attacks have not downrailed the investigation but also eliminated from our memories that there is something like Hindu extremism (if not terrorism) that exists. Hope some one gets to the root of these attacks.

We are not foolsBy: Elango | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 15:40:22 PM Reply | Forward We are not fools, truth behind the murder of ATS chief and his associates shall come out. If not India will be fanatically lead into a most pathetic situation. Already Pakistan and Pakistanis are in this same trap and suffering hell because of religious fanaticism. But we are trying to imitate what Hitler's Germany did to the world and itself. Hitler's Germany brought all out disaster only. But in the beginning it looked so good. Fellow Indians let us defeat every politician and clergy irrespective of any party and religion who justify violence and terrorism. Let the deaths of just officers such as ATS Chief not go waste. Let every one of us be fair and just in our thoughts and deeds. Let India become a model state to the world. At the same time the terrorist who came from Pakistan shall be punished and whomever associated with them shall be put to death. Every Indian Muslim too shall have this same spirit. No mercy towards terrorism whoever do shall be hated with everything.

mumbai attackBy: priti sinha | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:59:14 PM Reply | Forward It is high time we learnt to distinguish between terrorism and a war in disguise. The correct response to the Mumbai attack is certainly not to raise our accusing fingers against a nation or two and sit back with brazen ease of willing suspension of disbelief. The aptest response to this would be to raise a central force having its own elaborate intelligence wing strictly meant for defending few most important cities, establishments and installations besides waging a full scale diplomatic war against the nation behind such dastardly cold blooded attacks against us. This central force would be responsible for thwarting any attack or threat to the peace of these cities either from outside or form inside. This might prove great step towards ensuring not only the nation’s security but also it’s integrity.

who is behind it ALLBy: feena | Saturday , 29 Nov '08 14:30:49 PM Reply | Forward what is happening to our country? who is behind all these activities? terrorrists from out side or inside? they belong to muslim community or hindu community? here the important thing to remember is the election to the parliament is approaching.. some one has to prove that india is under threat.. and the now on government cannot care india.. i am not trying to whitewash the terrorrism on muslim community...but when reading about karkare...to whom the karkare's absence was needed?...to whom karkare's duty was threat?...v have to think.....
