Talibani SainiksBy: Sreenivasan E.C. | 31-Mar-2009Reply | ForwardHow fragile is our society! Why these Talibani Shiv Sainik's were not prevented from taking law into their hands? Here the police force and the government in power are all hand in hand with the Talibanis. It is dangerous to live in this society. All right thinking people must think over this issue and come up with ideas to strengthen the nation and to save it from these dangerous folks.
communalismBy: Ganesh | 31-Mar-2009Reply | ForwardFor all those advocating fair trail and law of the land etc, May I ask why there must be a trail for someone caught in the act on a surveilance camera.?Inspite of that if he must be given a chance to defend himself, why didnt the election commission give Varun Gandhi a chance to defend himself citing the reason that he was caught in the act on video? and that there is no reason to believe that the CD was doctored.Is not rank communalism that we see in these acts.
ATACK ON LADY LAWYERBy: Dr M M Tiwari , Raipur | 31-Mar-2009Reply | ForwardI don' t think attack on a lawyer engaged by court is a right thing. Sentiments are there and every Indian wants Kasab to be hanged publicly, but law has its procedure.There is a legal provision to give chance to an accused to defend his case personally or through a lawyer. If the accused can't arrange a lawyer or any lawyer doesn't take the case of an accused the court provides a lawyer to the accused. Without completing the legal procedure of the law of the land Kasab can' t be tried. After all some one has to stand for him. It's a good thing that a lady has come forward and has shown the courage to take up the case. She may be at the target of extremists and other terrorists also. Lawyer can only plead the case, the decision will be based on the facts and evidences collected by the investigating agencies. I think an issue should not be made and the courageous lady lawyer be allowed to work.The security and safety of the lady lawyer should as well be ensured to speed up the trial.
