Why is that Gujarat is always left out? Whenever talks of development are done, people talk about Mumbai, Delhi, Banglore, Chennai and Kolkata? There are lot of international travellers from Ahmedabad but government will never allow Ahmedabad to grow. Thanks to Singapore Airlines, which flies directly to US from Ahmedabad without going to Mumbai. Headlines Today will be eager to show attacks on "minority" but will never show blasts which kills innocent Hindus. Media is ready to show attacks on minority but will never show attacks which kills innocent Hindus? Is THIS FAIR?

all political parties in India are terrorist, POTA was used by these parties to suppress their opponent.

FYI... most of the media houses in India are owned by Dubai based companies or churches. They have indian CEO's just as a front.
Example:
1. CNN-IBN is owned by Southern Baptist Church. The CEO is just a puppet. 2. Newspaper 'The Hindu' is actually owned by a Dubai based Sheikh. 3. Dainik Jagaran is owned by the 'Joshua Society' based in Norway.
Are we supposed to nab them? I thought that we are all gandhi nation. I mean that if someone slaps us, we need to another cheek? At-least thats what the britishers wanted us to be so that we can make their jobs easier.
From this concept, if we get bombed by terrorists, we need to help the terrorists bomb some other city. After all we are the followers of Gandhi. If we nab the terrorists, Gandhi atma will be dis-comforted.
From Gandhi's standpoint, terrorists are also humans and they need to do their job, hence, I think Congress party is right. Its helping the terrorists do their job. Congress party is a true follower of Gandhi and his concepts.

Arrest Modi and his corrupt clan they will spew the truth who would have planted bombs in Gujarat.
Without POTA (or similar equivalent law) Rajiv Gandhi assasins, perpetrators of Mumbai 1993 blasts would have gone free

Congress's love for Muslim Vote and revoking POTA has done great damage to India's internal security.

Doesn't that mean our investigative agencies are so incompetent that they cannot find enough evidence against a suspect, and so need to hide behind a law that suspends habeas corpus? The fact of the matter is that if you can provide irrefutable evidence against a suspect, they cannot post bail - no court will allow that. Instead of making the investigative and police agencies more thorough and professional, the govt masks their incompetence by enacting laws that allow them to detain suspects indefinitely without trial. As Ben Parker, Spidey's uncle said, "With great power, comes great responsibility". Not many cops actually think of the responsibility part. You can just be in the wrong place at the wrong time and you'll be jailed without ever having a court hearing or access to lawyers. How is that fair?
Even the US has never enacted such laws on it's own citizens. The laws exists for foreign combatants in guantanamo bay, and even that is strongly opposed by people outside the administration.

Indian penal code cannot arrest anyone without proof or eye witness (saboot aur gawah). This law is incapable of handling terrorists.
Also FYI. USA does have an anti-terror law called 'USA PATRIOT Act'. So does european countries.
POTA is needed and also needed is to make the police responsible.
terrorism is not a state subject- its target is India as a state, its economic, social existance

That's the reason Indian Supreme Court allowed POTA to be enacted at central level during NDA rule.
There are Jehadis, anti-nationals hiding under assumed name who are trying to give spin on this to save the jehadis, terrorists.
Hi, is it possible, even in theory, for each religion to have its own God? How silly! God is eternal and our religions are not even 2000 years old, which is like a billionth of a second in the cosmic time scale. How silly and ridiculous of us to fight in the name of God and religion? If an all-compassionate God exists, why would He send us to a paradise for killing our fellow-humans, who are equal creations of the only God? Suppose, if a father has two children and one of them kills the other, will this act ever please the loving father?

"is it possible, even in theory, for each religion to have its own God?" Every religion is a theory, so the question is moot. Every religion is a set of conjectures and unsubstantiated claims regarding the nature of a supreme being that has never been proven to exist. (Even if we suppose it did exist, theories about its nature and will are still speculative). So, there are a bunch of competing theories, each making vehement assertions about their ideas - quite like a shouting match. Buddhism and Jainism are exceptions - they are atheistic religions (there is no congnizant God in these religions).
I read a T-shirt slogan a few months ago that was quite hilarious - It had a picture of a holy book (which I shan't name, but you can use any religious book there), and below was a statutory warning: May impair judgment. I think that gives you the idea...
Karl Marx astutely noted that religion was the opiate of the masses. A fundamentalized religion is like the heroin of the masses... So, no, it's not surprising at all to see people fight over ideas that have no factual basis - I'm told drug addiction can make people act irrationally.
After 9/11 there has been no incidence of terrorism in USA, while in India terrorism is so deep rooted that terrorist attacks take place at regular intervals. This cannot happen without internal support. Why we cannot follow the example of USA. They checked every house of a particular community. No politiacal party objected to the searches carried out by Federal agencies. Our political parties do nothing but blame each other to keep Muslim vote bank in their pocket. Afzal Guru's hanging was kept in abeyance to save Cogress led Govt. in J&k. Our Judiciary is still worse while giving judgement against the ban on SIMI. Any country where there is no political will to curb terrorism ruthlessly and Judiciary is corrupt, there is no possibility of any effective measures against terrorosm. Govt must ruthlessly take measures against internal enimy without bothering about vote bank politics. Our intellegence agencies must work indepenntly without taking instructions from the Govt or Politicians. Or else no Indian will feel safe in his homeland.

Not happy with any blasts. But gld that Modi's myth had blown up.
It is peurile for your knickerwallahs to boast that by merely voting Modi, terrorism can be kept a bay.
At least now it is apparent to all that it is more complex, needing action in many fronts and a long term challenge

Yes. Modi's USP has been blasted once for all. It is pathetic that despite two weeks, the Gujarat government has not made a breakthrough and the tamasha in Surat continues.
People are fed more myths like a specialist cell of terrorist information being formed blah, blah, blah

Law & order including terrorism is a state subject. The trouble with knickerwallahs till the Ahmedabad you guys were boasting that if there ha not been any blasts, it was because of Modi (not because of Central Government)Now that the blasts had taken place, it is the Central Government to take responsibility.
You knickerwallahs and your party BJP are whiners number one.
