ServilityBy: Ashish | Monday , 20 Oct '08 17:50:20 PM Reply | Forward A typical congress man, spineless and servile. He doesn't have the guts to call spade a spade, no wonder police force in the country feel betrayed, being headed by such a jerk

Patil's interviewBy: SANJIV | Monday , 20 Oct '08 9:27:54 AM Reply | Forward Mr. Shivraj Patil seems to be obsessed with procedure and repeatedly points out various steps involved in following pocedures WHEN THE HOUSE IS ON FIRE. For him, procedure should be short and swift lik searching his wradrobe, gelling hairstyle to perfection, srearching right shoes and freshly ironed pair of socks, a good deodarant, chanting Satya Saibaba and Madam Mantras. This should not take much time. (Even Bollywood heroes must be doing it quickly). Aam Janata, Police force and even MMS should have patience. The best part of his interview is talking no stand on Jamia Nagar matter. He refuses to defend or even form a considered view on the actions of his own police. For heaven's sake ask him simple and stupid questions - his wardrobe, Satya Sai Baba and his miracles, Which hair gel he likes, why cant he switch over to western atire (he will look sexy in it) and can effectively compete with Amar Singh for Bollywood popularity.

Spineless Conress and its leaders.By: Pratapsing Pant | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 17:22:23 PM Reply | Forward This man is not only unfit to be homeminister of any nation! The manner in which the examinees from outside Mumbai were physically thrashed and beaten up by the goons of Raj Thakere tpday afternoon in the presence of the so called Police Goons of Mumbai Police and their refusing to take anyaction agaibst Raj and his goons clearly proves beyond douby that the Mumbai Police and the State Govt are behind this attacks.On the contrary another spineless Home Minister of the State and the CM by an affidavit filed before the High Court that no action is necessary to be taken against Raj and his good as they following their conscience only.None of the the Vongress leaders including SAonia has raisedany opposition to this and on the contrary more i nerested in fighting with Mayawati whbich is more imp;ortent to her.

coming electionsBy: Santosh palekar | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 16:54:21 PM Reply | Forward This is not matter of truth or false. Simple thing, Pro UPA will agree with him and Anti UPA will disagree, so no more comments over it. Just vote whom you think is right and make yourself statisfy instead of putting all the filthy comments over the topic. I am gonna vote for Congress. Jai Hind

Two Patils and thousand PALTIS around the feet of soniaBy: Ha Ha Ha | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 16:42:18 PM Reply | Forward There are two Patils, who are big burden of India, Shivraj and Pratibha. Both are unelected. When Pratibha (nehru familily's kaamwali) used to cook in the Kitchen of Indira, Shivraj used to mop the kitchen floor. Patil was rejected by the voters in the last election, still he became Home minister due to his servile attitute towards Sonia. This guy has been evolved in a culture where he has been always reminded that "we are not happy by your behaviour" by Nehru family members. This is the same person who said decision on execution takes 7 years. More than the term of President and half of the life-term. If this much inefficient is the Indian justice system, then everyone has full right to take law and order in their hands for retaliations. Calling judgment from Indian judiciary system a "justice" is insane. Judiciary and government can wait, but justice cannot wait and should not wait. If judiciary is inefficient, judges are not enough, public must complement the judiciary by volunt

Nincompoomp Home MinisterBy: Gagan Sing | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 15:44:19 PM Reply | Forward To say that Shiraj Patil is soft is a total misdescrition of this insipid Home Minister. He is totally insapine and his only qualification is the apron holder of Sonia and very eager to aid his Mistress .

We would not do anything simply on the basis of caste, community or religionBy: Kumar | Sunday , 19 Oct '08 15:20:49 PM Reply | Forward All these 57 years the indian national congress and all the other parties which ruled india has done so on the basis of caste, community or religion. Now only when terror cases come up against minorities this great GADIAN as come up with a new theory that " We would not do anything simply on the basis of caste, community or religion." when reservations and sharing the tax payers money he and his gandhi family forgets all this and stays with minorities and caste and every other possible means. Who is this bloody fool trying to convence. WE ALL KNOW THAT HE AND HIS LADY LORD ARE NO. ONE TERRORIST SUPPORTS OF INDIAN AND ONE CHANCE AND I WOULD HAPPYLY SEND THIS WHOLE LOT TO GRAVEYARD.
