    An anonymous caller, who used a PCO to contact Pune police, threatened to blow up the residence of Mumbai Anti-Terrorism Squad (ATS) Chief Hemant Karkare "within a couple of days", a top official confirmed on Wednesday.

    The caller who spoke a few lines in Marathi on November 24 evening cut the line after giving the threat, Rajendra Sonavane, Joint Commissioner of Police (JCP), said.

    The call was later traced to a Public booth in Sahkar Nagar area of the city, he added.

    Asked whether it was being seen as a 'hoax', Sonavane said police were taking all such threats seriously in the present scenario and the Mumbai ATS had been informed duly about the threat call.

    However, the police control room, when contacted on Tuesday night, had denied receiving any such threat to Karkare.

    Wait a minute!!!By: Refuge | 27-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward It is indeed very sad to see the state of affairs in India in general, esp. mumbai. But, people do you really think that ATS is going to go after these real terrorists? I am sure that like the other bombing incidents, this will also die down in a few days. ATS is more worried about why hindus were involved in malegoan blasts because 6 muslims were killed. ATS, will resume its narco analysis of all the hindu ashram leaders and in general anyone who goes to temples. So, even when the islamic groups take responsibility for these attacks they will not go after them. Even if they did apprehend terrorists they will never subject them to narco analysis or show them obscene videos or threaten them to hang them upside down!! I have my deep condolences to the ATS Chief Hemant Karkare. I do have a suggestion, instead of making cops fight terrorists. we should let the politicians like laloo, mulayam and Sonia battle these terrorists, after all who else would know about these terrorists better!!
    Quest for parity to shield Jehadi terrorBy: kp | 27-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward I wonder why terrorists did not attack Hemant's residence but rather attacked all these hotels to target Hemant. Terrorists must not be very smart. Or Indian express must think we are not smart but lap up boogy of Hindu terror even when jehadi terror spread before our eyes.

    STOP PAYING INCOME TAXBy: MANHAR | 26-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Our hard earned goes into vain, Haj committe receive 3000 corores rupees, madress get huge money as saleries to the maulavi, psudosecular congress pays five star facilities to the anti-hindu ATS officers, while we hindues pays 98% income tax to the govt.Stop paying tax.
    Pay Income Tax to BJP not to CongressBy: aqmamin | 26-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward Hindus do receive government subsidies for pilgrimages to Mount Kailash from a variety of sources. First, the Ministry of External Affairs routes INR 3250 to each Kailash yatri. The Uttar Pradesh state government then adds INR 5000 per pilgrim. The budget for all of this was INR 1.2 billion – INR 800 million from the state government, and INR 400 million from the Centre. This did not include the costs of deploying around 11,000 policemen, as well as 40 companies of the Provincial Armed Constabulary and other paramilitary..The case of the Ujjain Ardha Kumbh, in Madhya Pradesh in April 2004, was no different. At that time, Chief Minister Uma Bharati promised that she would do all she could for the festival, which at the time was expecting millions of pilgrims. Bharati ultimately received additional funds from the Centre to the tune of INR 10 billion. So Mr. Manhar, I appeal to you to be equitable and apply justice and fairplay.
    Haj Subsidy, Temple visit SubsidyBy: aqmamin | 26-Nov-2008 Reply | Forward you are exaggerating and twisting the issue on Haj Subsidy. Air India ( An Indian Government undertaking)which has a monopoly to arrange transportation for the Haj Pilgrims is making huge profits and part of the profits is returned to the pilgrims, and for political reasons this dividend is termed subsidy. I refer to one instance when Air India lost 50 crores last year when the UP Haj Committee decided to change loyalties from Air India to Saudi Airlines for sending 30 000 pilgrims. Calculate the per capita loss per passenger, it comes to INR 16,666.This is what Indian Govt calls subsidy. It is making, huge profits by one way and returning part of the profit in a more attractively palatable way to maintain the vote bank. NOW FOR THE SAKE OF ARGUMENT, LET US ASSUME SUBSIDY. Every Indian consumer irrespective of religion makes direct and mostly indirect taxes to the Indian Exchequer. Out of this public fund, the Indian Govt dishes out subsidy to all its citizens. Indian Muslims are part and parcel of the Indian Political Entity, so Indian Muslims get back their share of the contribution from the Exchequer like any other citizen of the country once in their life time.
