Is it possible to raise Public Interest Litigation in supreme court and try Qureshi under Indian laws? If he can offer money for killing, I am sure, I don’t mind offering money towards the efforts of trying him in court.

I feel so pathetic & sad to let this guy get away with it. Recent indictment of Salman Khan raised bit of my faith in Indian law but letting this guy getting away is bad for health of Indian justice system.

sarat:
“democracy does make us less belligerent but it has nothing to do with the religious identity”
sorry to bust ur bubble; religious identity is certainly *one* of the factors (but not the ONLY one, which is why one shouldnt typecast a religious community). Blindly pretending “it has nothing to do with religion” doesnt help in finding constructive solutions, imo. Have to consider ALL factors including religion.

As with stupidity, propensity for cruelty is also uniformly distributed..irrespective of community, religion etc. we hindus r no more peace-loving than muslims or anybody.remember gujrat.
i hav admired ur writings for their rationality and sound arguments but for the past few days objectivity seems missing…bias against muslims…i dont think we can draw blanket conclusions for any community.ofcourse the minister is wrong and is trying to flare up emotions but that doesnt allow the freedom to typecast any community. our democracy does make us less belligerent but it has nothing to do with the religious identity

There is a saying in Tamizh “Anjuvadhu anjaamai pedhamai” which means that it is folly not to fear things that have to be feared. Extending it to this post, I think it would be a crime not to boil with rage at the speech given by the minister. Anyone who loves the world or India will feel so…Foolishness and Stupidity in powerful people are dangerous to the intelligence and safety of the powerless majority.

The views were the ministers own personal views. This means the bounty awarded would be from his own pockets ..and not from the coffers of the state.

Isn’t this a good indication that we have filthy rich people here in India also.
Yes boss ..India is also a rich country

“‘We are peace loving and secular people. Such acts outrage us,’ he said, before the protesters peacefully dispersed.”

This statement is a gem. Not only is it an uncannily accurate characterization of Islam, it comes from the mayor of a city that is the bastion of peace and ’secularism’. Srinagar.

Atanu’s reponse: That statement is accurate — if you redefine “peace loving” and “secular” as is in fact practised in India. It is an Orwellian statement.

I have crossed the state of being angry over such things. I am just disappointed and feel helpless with the state of affairs of the nation. It is the frustration that is caused when in a random draw, one always gets a poor card.

Too much anger, Atanu. The matter is frankly so sorry that I wonder why you went about abolishing the argument in the first place.
“Hereâ€™s an idea: why donâ€™t you get the UP Muslims to cough up a little more and send it to your friendly compatriot Mr Osama Bin Laden and he will deliver the nukes to the Americans courtesy of the people of Uttar Pradesh. And with the leftovers, since Bin Laden has already called for war against Hindus, he can nuke the Hindus in India.”
-such rants seemed unnecessary

atanu,

You seem to have posted this in fits of rage!

Atanu’s response: If you don’t feel rage upon reading what India is descending into, check your pulse: you may be dead.
