RECERSAL OF WHAT FREDOM FIGHTERS PROMISEDBy: B S GANESH, BANGALORE | Thursday , 2 Jul '09 22:01:21 PM Reply | Forward In my frank opinion as a senior citizen in the evening of life and participated in the freedom struggle during school days, I can only say present day politicians are cowards and traitors. When a criminal that too a terrorist who attacked Parliament is protected even after APEX COURT VERDICT shows incompetency of politicians. We fought and got independence loudly declaring " SHANTHI, SHISTU, NYAYA" and what we now see is all these with the " PREFIX A " Namely ASHANTHI, ASHISTU ANYAYA,".B S GANESH, BANGALORE

Guru's hangingBy: J.M.Manchanda | Tuesday , 30 Jun '09 9:19:01 AM Reply | Forward The govt. should either abolish death sentence or decide promptly whether on goes to the gallows or not. It is ridiculous to keep a convict waiting for years and Home minister's timetable of one case a month makes little sense. Does he actually need a onth to make up his mind? One suspects Afzal Guru' case is being delibertely kept pending to gain leverage in Sarabjit case.
