Need for direct and tough action by Pak: Rice

New Delhi: Rejecting Pakistan's contention, the US on Wednesday night said that there is need for ‘direct and tough action’ by Islamabad even if the perpetrators of the Mumbai terror attacks were ‘non-state actors’.

Who invited RiceBy: Sunil | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 1:13:36 AM Reply | Forward Was she really invited by someone in India? I doubt.

STRINGENT ACTIONBy: N.V.SANKARAN | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 22:22:57 PM Reply | Forward It is good to hear the words of Ms.Rice. But, I think all this flurry of activities will end up in some diplomatic jingoism and when the atmosphere cools down, there will be no real action. See the response from the Pakistani government!!! They have already refused to hand-over the terrorists to India. US will not act, because they need Pakistan as an ally for their fight in Afghanistan. India should take Israel as an active partner in action for demolishing the terror camps in Pak territory, because of five reasons. 1. They have the best intelligence network in the world. 2. They have the maximum experience in fighting terrorism. 3. Once they launch their action, they go ahead with the single minded resolve to finish the job, unmindful of any external pressure from any part of the world. 4. Once Israel gets involved, it will ensure that the western powers, particularly USA and Britain also participate in the action. 5. Israel also wants to avenge the death of their people in the Nariman House. We need not worry much about the Islamic Nations. They are not going to help anyway. Otherwise, there will be no action at all. This is not to belittle India's capability in field, but Israeli involvement will strengthen India's position and reduce external pressure to avoid any direct action.

India and pakistan should exchange fanatics etc.By: Nautankee | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 22:05:35 PM Reply | Forward Sir, I think, both India and Pakistan should cooperate. Pakistan should hand over the top terrorists to India and India should hand over Ashok Singhal, Togadiya, Bal Thackarey and perhaps Advani etc. to Pakistan. It will will be like getting rid of rubbish from both sides.

Now or NeverBy: vikram srinivasa | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:53:06 PM Reply | Forward Pakistan based terrorist camps near Jammu and Kashmir have to be demolished under any circumstance immediately. At the times of crisis, we expect Indian government to take bold and strong steps. But, it is not happening, we have made accusations against Pakistan instead. The whole world is watching at us for the actions we undertake to defend our territory. The world will support Indian military strike against Pakistan based terrorist camps near Indo-Pak border, under these circumstances. If this initiative is not taken by the Indian government, NEVER BE PROUD OF BEING AN INDIAN.

Need string leadersBy: Bhupendra | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:02:32 PM Reply | Forward Indian govt has been elected by people of India and should be held resposible for the security of the country. Why does the Indian govt look to US for help? Why do people of India expect US to help? If people in power are not capable of defending India, they should leave and make room for someone else to take charge.Shame on India and leaders of India to be always looking to others for help. When will strong India emerge? Throw the govty out of power and put someone strong over there.

Why Advani?By: Sudarshan | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 19:58:50 PM Reply | Forward Manmohan Singhji, why did you send Advani to recieve Ms.Rice? This man is a Shame on the name of India. He will not be forgiven for their dirty roles in which they attacked our Hero Hemant Karkare for catching terrorists.

Nuts!By: Ashish | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 21:30:42 PM Reply | Forward Are you nuts? It is the PM who is shameless for targetin innocent Hindus when he should have been going after real terrorists

How should India respond to Pak?By: Aditya | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 19:44:42 PM Reply | Forward FOCUS!! What needs to be done. EVerybody in world knows that Pak supports terrorist activities. But Pak are able to fool US so forget about India. So to get anything about this isFollowing are the things need to be asking for:1. Collaborate with US, Israel, USSR to put prepare the case about this attack. Now the best way to handle that is let evey country have their own team. Give them access to visit various locations in India with a strong security officier - at the level of IPS/IAS officier. His responsibility is to make sure they complete the report in next 2-3 weeks and also it points to right issue - where the terrorist came from? who supported them?2. Give this report to Pakistan and also present to UN security council and try to get Pakistan as a terrorist country if it doesn't satisfy the requirements of getting the terrorists and also rules of engagement for future issues?4. Identify things that bring Pakistan to knees e.g. closing water supply to Pak from rivers

INDIAN FOOLSBy: RAMESH | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 23:34:40 PM Reply | Forward EXCELLENT PLANNING. I DID NOT KNOW IT WAS SO EASY. I WOULD SUPPORT AS PRESIDENT OF INDIA.

Regarding Adavni and BJP.By: Nautankee | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 19:40:03 PM Reply | Forward Advani and his BJP are the ones, who criticised Anti Terrorist Squad chief Hemant Karkare for catching terrorists in India. Poor Karkar was murdered by the terrorists,and this story has left Advani with all shame on his head. Decent people of India does not even spit on a person like him. He is the leader of a party whose leaders like Babubhai Katara are human smugglers, ad the rest of these fools are involved in cash-for-quarry like incidents in which they took bribes for asking questions in the Indian Parliament. Advani has been accused by his own colleauge for having links with Dawood Ibrahim, but no one has the guts to investigate these charges. Advani is also one of the main persons, who released top terrorists and his party also sent truck loads of Indian tax payers money.This nincompoop came from Pakistan to India. He has been playing double role, because in India he hates Muslims and Christians, but while in Pakistan he praises Jinnah for being secular.

Election 2009By: Anil Kumar | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 1:01:27 AM Reply | Forward You are talking like a Paki, UPA had given an agenda to him Election 2009. His probe was widening like cancer. Every person who came in contact with Purohit was being arrested. In his zeal he missed the warning from the centre as well as USA. The focus of his attention was to blame 50 % of Hindu community and thereby appeasing Muslims who are Congress's vote banks. This is all result of his myopic probe. Now that there is proof of Pakistan involvment, why is India acting like a spineless guy. What are the Indian politicians waiting for, some thing bigger than Mumbai Massacre. We should strike and once for all remove the terror camps from Pakistan. Whatever be the sacrifice we have to do it. JAI HIND!!!!!!!
