Provide Buetproof Jacket To PoliceBy: Biswajit | Friday , 19 Sep '08 19:37:43 PM Reply | Forward If the Govt. had adequately taken care of Police and provided boolet proof jackets, the brave officer would still be with us. But, our ministers only know how to hide behind boolet proof cars, but do not know how to provide one to the people fighting for his and country's security.

InquiryBy: ADGURU | Friday , 19 Sep '08 19:20:21 PM Reply | Forward An inquiry must be set against people living in Jamia area and quick action MUST be taken against those involved:Once the firing stopped, large number of people thronged the narrow lanes of the area and shouted religious slogans."We are all against terrorism, then why was our religious places place targeted," asked one of the residents."Last time also, they came into the area a day before Id and conducted a similar operation. There must be a thorough probe and it should be clearly established if those killed were really terrorists," Salim Mohammed, a resident said.Because of such people we are losing good officers!

BETTER FORCEBy: NARAYAN LAXMAN | Friday , 19 Sep '08 18:23:28 PM Reply | Forward Good news atleast few terrorists involved have been brought down/captured by the police. If there was prior info of these terrorists holed up in a building why can't the police take help of army/CRPF and see that nobody escaped. The whole area must be cordoned off. Our police are not trained to the extent to counter a terrorist attacks and that is one main reason the attacks are happening repeatedly. SIT, CBI and Military power must be used to counter the terrorist strategy. Make changes in the way you deal with these demons and be effective.

fake By: Rational | Friday , 19 Sep '08 18:13:11 PM Reply | Forward The people of Jamianagar did not see thre encounter. Theycall it 'fake'.Did the police inspector shoot himself? strange argument.

Fake encounter..??By: Does it matter | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 8:18:52 AM Reply | Forward No he didn't shoot himself. He was shot by his own colleagues at the behest of an external order. The postmortem report proves he was shot from behind and at very close range.

Need for Everyday Vigilance By: Kirtimaan | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:50:44 PM Reply | Forward What stops delhi police to be vigilant everyday and not to wait on mass killings like operation BAD blasts to realise them of their duty. There should also be strict policy from government to give death penalty to all important terrorist leaders and masterminds responsible for innocent killings. Anyways hats off the those policeman who participated in this operation to kill the responsible people and also my best wishes for those policemen who were injured to make this happen.

RECENT BLASTSBy: JASWANT JASANI | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:44:37 PM Reply | Forward delhi meri jaan is being spoiled by few terrorists which should be dealt with strictly after making necessary amendments in the laws at present. Terrorists should be separated from the Muslim as a whole. For the acts of some bad individuals, you cannot blame the whole community.

Get up Stand UpBy: Ramesh | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:41:44 PM Reply | Forward Finally our police woke up but it was too late.I just hope that they got the right people. This fight against terrorism needs political will. These are the same people who have created this monster in the name of Vote Bank. What happened in Punjab..they got in one Bhindrawalen to upstage Akalis and he became so strong that he wanted a state of his own. Countless mothers lost their sons/husbands.Widows were born over night. Why was babri masjid allowed to be brought down, were the politicians sleeping when thousands of people descended and brought down an historical building with the whole nation watching. These are some of the instances. Its time that we as people of this great land stand up and voice our opinion as one and make these politicians accountable. We do not have body gaurds or bullet proof vehicles but are victims in their game

Jamia EncounterBy: Ashok Mehdiratta | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:33:26 PM Reply | Forward Congratulations to DP for this encounter.If two have slipped away please look for them and get rid of them otherwise some future Govt will hand them over back to their outfit.Donot worry about Electronic Media as they will always raise voice against police and the Govt because they are paid for this crap.Govt should look after injured police personnel and give them more power to tackle terrorism. If need be CrPC can be amended to accord them legal protection if by default excess takes place.Some of the channels were deliberately trying to distort the news item by putting words into the mouths of people being interviewed at Jamia.Let Electronic media become more responsible.If it was a frame up,Inspector Sharma would not be in the hospital with bullet injuries and other constable could not pumped bullets into himself.So TV channels should refrain from planting such stories.Donot ever use locals to identify the terrorists as religion is bigger than the nation for some of the minorities.

SHAME - 2 ESCAPEDBy: indian | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:13:29 PM Reply | Forward the Delhi governement needs to explaine HOW 2 TERRORISTS ESCAPED. this would have caused a rage in any other country but we indians are satisified with job half done. its vital that all of the culprits are nabbed

Tougher lawsBy: Sana | Friday , 19 Sep '08 17:11:42 PM Reply | Forward Despite the fact that there is evidence that it is forces from outside the country that are instigating terror attacks in India, and knowing that these units are influencing Indian fundamentalist minorities, people still think that somehow they are all innocent victims. Just like there are innocent muslims, there are innocent hindus, christians. To move on with life let's call a spade a spade and have tougher laws for anyone who plays with the security of the country and threatens peace. We do need peope who talk tough because that is only language the terrorists and other trouble makes understand. I am glad that people are noticing this attitude in the UPA government and are forcing the government to act quickly. Let's not lose anymore common people to these terrorists. Too many people are being killed everywhere as it is due to natural disasters. Terrorism is a national threat to every country and it has to be handled so it does not show its face anywhere in the world again!
