bjp is wrongly advocating POTABy: real bharatiya | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 20:53:18 PM Reply | Forward bjp is advocating POTA by saying tht there was not terro attack in USA after 9/11. Poor bjp is comparing rich USA with poor India. 1stly, USA is spending huge amount for civil defence, 2ndly, nmbr of muslims in USA is less than those in India, 3rdly, muslims living in USA are educated

beware of bjp's dirty provokation on communal basisBy: real bharatiya | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 20:41:51 PM Reply | Forward advani/modi wants India another Israel. Israel is facing attacks (I will not use word 'terrorist' frm Palestinans since 1967(42 years) bcos of wrong policy to tackle the attacks.No party can ignore 80% Hindus to aprease 15% Muslims. bjp is misleading the country by blaming on cong of politics of minority apeasement. In the contrary, bjp is playing majority apeasement politics by provoking Hindus against Muslims.Only cong has economic policy

aboveBy: janney | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 20:33:30 PM Reply | Forward Capital punishment is the only answer. Half hearted or people working against the country cannot take tough actions.

Stupid ResponseBy: MVC | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 19:28:54 PM Reply | Forward Hello Derek,Terrorists involved in parliament attack were killed by security forces and the culprit Afzal was sentenced by the court. However, the Useless Political Alliance(UPA) did nothing to punish Afzal as per Indian justice. The result, we have many terror attacks under UPA.Unfortunately, yur kith and kin have not died in the attack else you wouldn't write stupid response to article!Dear Saccha,You better find truth before you write response. Stringent laws are only to prevent the criminal activities by terrorists. Take an example that Singapore has stringent laws only to reduce the crime, but those who still commit crime will have face justice.Coming to Maya

Congress made India a soft stateBy: Abhijit | Friday , 17 Oct '08 1:26:53 AM Reply | Forward If Kargil had happened during Congress era, we would have given that part to Pakistan already and then would have committed to a never ending negotiation with Pakistan and terrorists. If Parliament shootout has happened during UPA era, Afzal Guru and some others would have been freed due to “lack of evidence”. Whole India is reeling under terrorist activities mainly due to criminalization of politics by Indira Gandhi and then age old soft policies of Congress party towards terrorism, foreign aggression. Congress made India a soft target for Islamic fundamentalism and easy target of all the terrorists.

Look who's talkingBy: Maple | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 19:09:47 PM Reply | Forward We have the requisite laws to curb terrorism. What's required are speedy trials and political will. Those who flew terrorists to Afghanistan in December 1999 have demonstrated their political will. They have confessed to the nation that they don't have anyone below 80 to offer as Prime Minister. Modi remains a regional phenomenon. His election campaigns in states other than his own never work. Rather, his presence harms the party in other states. Need we say more.

look why he is talkingBy: jthapu | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 21:58:08 PM Reply | Forward imagine what you will do if one in your family was in that flight and the flight was blown by terrorists. the same tougue will wag in a different direction, are you congressi - be impartial

Country like India needs laws like POTA By: Jatin | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 18:52:54 PM Reply | Forward No law can stop crime totally. Every country has laws but that does not prevent some minority (number wise, not religious) people to break it. We must have effective laws to minimize crime. Effective laws with sufficient punishment and scope of “forced” correction do discourage people from doing harm to the society, nation and other fellow citizens. In that sense POTA was a very appropriate law for a country like India and we need that to minimize/prevent rampant act of terrorism all over India.

Pota- Good aginst others, not for meBy: Rajesh | Friday , 17 Oct '08 9:46:53 AM Reply | Forward Yes. Ask the MDMK leader how good the law is. He voted for it and went to prison by it. U will know how good it is only if you become the victim. It is good when when your neighbor suffers (so you can smile). You will feel the pain only if it pinches you.

I hope BJP will work for India, not for or against any specific religionBy: Jay | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 18:46:08 PM Reply | Forward I hope BJP will implement what it says before election. BJP hardly worked on a uniform civil code, delink religion from governance when BJP/NDA was in power. BJP never stopped tax payers’ money to be wasted on religious subsidies like Haj or Manas sarovar yatra; neither had it worked to prevent mushrooming of mosques and madrases (main breeding ground for Islamic terrorism) with the help of Middle Eastern money. But we must accept that acts of terrorism were much less during NDA/BJP era, as compared to UPA/Congress era. There is enough reason to believe that laws like POTA do prevent good part of religious terrorism. The problem is BJP never came to power alone, on its own. It always had/has some nagging and pseudo-secular coalition partners like Mamata Banerjee, Jayalalitha etc.

DO ITBy: Nation | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 18:26:15 PM Reply | Forward Mr. Rajnath, if you do something what you are advocating more than half of your party base will be in jail as no one has more blood on their hands than BJP and it's rowdy organizations consisting of Bajrang Dal/VHP and above all mother ship RSS>

bjp in powerBy: muslim bhagawat | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 17:59:40 PM Reply | Forward bjp should be brought to power and they should be enacting strong laws to save teh country fromdisintegration,civil war,jehad.

We'll enact more stringent law than POTA: BJPBy: Derek Saldanha | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 17:12:39 PM Reply | Forward Well when the BJP combined was in power they did nothing when Parliament house was hot by terrorists, when Kargil was occupied by the Pakistani soldiers and militants, when the IA plane was hijacked. The last is laughable because the "Rapid Action Force" organized by the govet in power was anything but rapid. This is only an eye wash as the elections are near.

NDA was far better than UPABy: anand | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 18:51:44 PM Reply | Forward Just to make the record straight. Parliament house was attacked, but the culprits were shot down or brought to books. Kargil was occupied, but they were driven out,plane was hijacked but the passengers were ultimately rescued, in the akshardham attack the terrorists were killed on the spot. Just make a comparison at the number and frequency of terrorist attacks during the periods of both the governments. U dont have to learn rocket science to realise that this UPA government has failed to protect the people.Analyse the facts, before blindly criticising or commenting on something like this.

NDA is better than UPABy: indian | Friday , 17 Oct '08 2:14:24 AM Reply | Forward It is pathetic some people criticize BJP by twisting the facts. To me they appear more as rumor mongers. BJP during its rule with NDA partners did very well in all spheres, particularly, in building the security and economy of our country. Aam Aadmi has seen how miserably UPA has failed on all fronts. UPA's achievements are: it has denigrated the majority community and held on to the power for full five years by all means.

UPA is far better NDABy: Oasis | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 23:52:53 PM Reply | Forward Just to make record more straighter, almost all the terrorist involved in recent bomb blast incidents are arrested and two of them killed, and in case of parliament or akshardham attack enemy was visible so u cant retaliate on the stop its not the case. Mr. Anand don't try to be ultra nationalist with your this twisted analysis. India doesn't have this problem of terrorism before Gujrat carnage.

All were sucessfully concluded..By: Amit | Thursday , 16 Oct '08 18:12:52 PM Reply | Forward All the happenings catalogued above were sucessfully concluded by the then able PM AB Vajpayee and home Minister LK Advani. In addition tothat they sucessfully extradited Abu Salem also. Unlike the Servant Pm who ordered the defreezing the accounts of Quatrochi, the old boy friend of his master Italian Monkey.Saldhana is also biased as the name reflects.
