Its Bal Thackeray vs the Karkares over Kasab

Mumbai: In a veiled criticism of slain ATS chief Hemant Karkare's wife and daughter, Shiv Sena chief Bal Thackeray has said that the country does not share their stance that the lone 26/11 terrorist in Mumbai police custody should be let off on “humanitarian grounds”. “The Karkare family may have a dif ....Read more

I agree with Karkare....By: Common Man | Monday , 12 Jan '09 17:17:37 PM Reply | Forward I agree with Mrs Karkare that Kasab should be allowed to scot free on humanitarian grounds. He was just a misguided youth. After all we are secular country, how can we hang a minority person? Hindus of India are real terrorists, they are in mojority and that is why they are imposing their thinking on Minorities. This is the very principal Mr. Karkare was following when he was killed by a misguided bullets from the Gun of Kasab. Kasab should be pardoned so that other Jehadi's planning the next attack on India can do their job peacefully and without fear. They should be given a feeling that India is a great nation and do not hang you even if you are caught red handed, provided you are Muslim.

Where was thakre......By: Common Man | Monday , 12 Jan '09 16:21:01 PM Reply | Forward We heard many saying....where was Thakre when Mumbai was arrested..... Hey what you think... what would you say if he goes to the crime scene? You will say he is "politicising" terrorism.... Remember Modi? he visited Taj and waht media cried? Karkare was killed like a common man, there is no case of "martydom"... he was not killed fighting terror. He was more interested in hanging Sadhvi Pragya. His family want Kasab to be pardoned, may be because they want to have media attention..... want to get mileage and congress seat. All of a sudden they are in limelight, not because they "did" something but because "Kasab" did something....

Death PenaltyBy: Major(Retd)R.Rudra | Sunday , 11 Jan '09 18:44:44 PM Reply | Forward Death Penalty is an act of retribution. A life for life is just and serves the purpose of justice. The punishment should be equal to the crime and punishment has no other purpose. There is no utilitarian value and we should not aim at some other goal other than that of meeting the requirement of just punishment.The criminal should be executed by a firing squad.

Karkares wifes statementBy: Prashanth | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 16:02:53 PM Reply | Forward I agree with Mrs Karkare that Kasab should be given a chance to understand what "India is" so that he realises that his wish for jannat is fulfilled in his living life here in India he need not die or kill people.Objective of conviction in any modern legal system is to make the convict understand or realize his mistakes and death as such will not carry that idea of realisation of wrong he has committed, he will feel he is going to his jannat if he is hanged, and not to forget that anybody on a suicide mission (present or future) death is a least deterrent punishment. We need to understand that these are all young men just like us but brainwashed to commit these acts of terror, and the best way to fight them is not to provide them with nourishment to grow.

Thakre's feed on deadBy: Abhi | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 12:05:37 PM Reply | Forward Kasav is the only proof alive to prove Pakistans dirty mindset and I believe that govt. should keep him behind bars and treated as terrorist. And why Mr. Thakre is making so much hue and cry over the opinions of Late Mr. Karkare's family. Its only an opinion and reaction of an individual who have never faced media scrutiny and are unaware that each and every comment they make will be disected to the core by people like Thakres(vultures) who feed on dead, our sympathy with Mr. Karkare's family. Please leave them alone. Their opinion is just an opinion and not a decesion.

Karkare is not Capt. SharmaBy: raman | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 10:07:49 AM Reply | Forward Just like Prianka Gandhi wanted to pardon killers of Rajiv and 60 other people around him, Karkare's daughter want to pardon killers of 200 victims. Of course ATF chief Karkare was murdered like the rest 190 people, and these killers were stopped by brave NSG commondos (not Karkares stupid ATF cops ). It is unfair to compare Karkare or other cops of Maharastra with likes Capt. Unnikrishhnan or Delhi capt. Sharma who really died fighting the Jihadi enemies. May be Karkare's family is planning to contest elections on congress ticket, am sure Dawood Ibrahim and ISI will surely back this secular UPA candidate in future! Also ISI agents in India who prounance Sadhvi Pragya and others as guility, note that nothing has been proved yet. Karkare's bravery was only talking to media about his heroic deeds of nacro tests on young hindu sadhvi, and he miserably failed when faced with real enemy, ISLAMIC TERRORISTS.

Thakeray and KarkaresBy: Ramamurhty.N. | Saturday , 10 Jan '09 6:42:49 AM Reply | Forward Karkare's wife and daughter are mearly trying to emulate Sonia.One will not be surprised if sonia field her in the next election to Maharashrtra assembly on congress ticket

Sainthood at the cost of sacrifice of husbandBy: Rajan Karkara | Friday , 9 Jan '09 21:49:44 PM Reply | Forward The death sentence to any criminal is not awarded to teach him a lesson but to teach many others who may indulge in crimes. If we start pardoning everybody then who will deter from innocent killings. The so called saints should then sugget that everybody should be allowed to kill any body and seek pardon on humantarian grounds. Only then will we proudly be able to say that we belong to 'KALYUG'. I may further add, that why only kavitha karkare is speaking on the behalf of other policemen and innocent people, because the nation does not know the names of junior police official who were killed with karkare and other senior officers. Is there sacrifice lesser being the lesser human beings.

No businessBy: R Sindaresan | Friday , 9 Jan '09 12:43:51 PM Reply | Forward No business of letting off such a hardcore terrorist since until now he is not the feeling of any wrongdoing and hopes that he has a berth in jannat. Such persons should be killed in front of the public as how the Indonesian Government dealt with the three hardcore terrorist caught on bali bomings. This will be a lesson to others not to dare to do such things in future

DhimmitudeBy: T.Jayaprakash | Friday , 9 Jan '09 12:15:13 PM Reply | Forward Even at the alter of death, a Hindu never ceases to be a Dhimmi.That is the gist of Kavitha Karare's statement.We talk so much about the absence of killer instinct in Indians even in the field of sports.No wonder the offsprings of such mothers as Kavitha cannot be expected to rise above pedestrial levels.In a way Kavitha too is right.Nobody can bring back her husband to life.Atleast salvage some prestige for herself and achieve sainthood at the cost of the nation.
