What Mr Gautier says is correct..Off the record Dr Manmohan Singh would also agree with him..But Dr Singh has his political compulsions -- it's Congress policy to appease a vote bank..This year there was a comemorative function of the people killed in the Bombay blast .. Dr Singh was unable to take part in that even - as he has his vote bank related compulsions..
Mr Gautier I respect the feelings for India that u have and its true that Mrs Bhutto has been an ardent India Hater. She was just playing her cards to the tunes of the domestic audience. You cant expect anything different from her.
YEah I agree the PM should have used someother word for Mrs Bhutto other than making her a heroine or Martyr. Martyr she is of her own principles.
Yeah Mr Gautier every single word in ur column is true but words are all the most important when u r in a responsible position... ANd so is Mr PM so He is right tooo. We dont speak ill of ppl already dead.... Just pray and work so that not many grow up like the departed soul.
How *many* recall NSA M.K.Narayanan's statement regards BB a few weeks ago? What did u expect the Indian PM to say after Benazir's assassination? Good riddance? What about Advani signing condolence message for BB? Advani's statement "Jinnah was the most secular leader"? Politics is all about saying diplomatic things but carrying a big stick to whack people behind the scenes, unless you are the USofA.
Francois Gautier is a well know Muslim baiter, Nothing unusul about it, he has said what he is in the habit of saying. To creat malice and rancor is the hall mark of all Zionists.

If Francois Gautier is a Muslim baiter does it mean BB was not a India baiter she was peace personified and father and daughter always strived for peaceful settlement of issues with India - is it?

Dear Pawan Hansoti, why are you feeling the heat if you are an Indian? The article under discussion is an unbiased view of a foreign journalist. Why do you think we are blaming the muslims in India for whatever has been done by Pakistan? Some of my muslim friends are more patriotic than me! Btw the Indians who migrated to Pak at the time partition are still called "refugees" in Pak and I have first hand information of some muslims from Malabar in Kerala returning to their native place to spend their last days in peace. So this country is as much as yours as it is mine!
First of all Mr.Gautier u can understand that our PM is the face of India and has the top most responsibility on the safety and security of the country than anybody else. We dont require your French instructions and advices. Atlast u r backed by BJP and VHP. We need peace in South Asia...atlast it's the people who are sufering with the contradictions of the two countries. Let us forget the past and progress towards prosporous new year. India will not face threat by any neighbouring country, we are strong enough.

Every time Mr.Gautier writes about India some fundamentalist object on his being outsider and intevening in our internal matters. Dear Peace & Huminaty you say we are stong enough. What could we do when Kasmir was evacuated of 4 lacs of Pundits with the help of BB and her forthcoming leaders. And you talk about "Strong enough" the Pak terrorists attack on us as and when they wish. And what is the connection of this article with BJP/VHP

We all are Indians irespective of religion, caste or traditions. BJP and VHP is creating a fear among Hindus that Hinduism is going to disappear from the world(fact is Hinduism growth percentage is 1.8)...they create hate against other religion people which is against the unity of India....We need peaceful and united India without communal violences

Dear Peace and Humanity, the threat from the religious zealots is a real one and not imaginary. The followers of semitic religions spew venom on the majority community and at times even irreligious persons like me also wonder whther it is a crime to born into a native religion! No where on earth a PM would repeatedly proclaim that the minorities have first right over the resources of our country or allocate 15% of plan fund for their upliftment. I am not against upliftment of the poor, but the same needs to be on the basis of economic creteria and not religious affinity.

Pseodo seculars like you are more harmful to India. You people have also a hidden motive and a hidden meaning in your words.The paries like INC are not very different from you. There is a class of such people and parties in India. God save India from this class.

Dear "Peace and Humanity".... You will get India to become slave for another 1000 years..... You will get lots of Indians killed.. just like Gandhi did. Peace is not free.... Humanity is at danger.. Survival is not guaranteed... You dont fight.. you dont survive. Dont tell others to die.

Truth is truth. I don't understand where BJP and VHP comes whenever we talk about our relationship with hostile muslim countries like pakistan etc. Some filthy minds always try to give it a religious turn, so as to create hatred and all that. Goutier is very correct in his revealations and we should never forget the hostility of our neighbours towards us. We should be ready to emrace them with open arm but should always remain cautious and be prepared for the worst. Peace and Humanity can not come with love from one side and hostile behaviour from other. Don't create fuss and hatred among we indians. We should behave like indians.
She thundered that her country is on a 1000 year war with India the moment she became PM of Pakistan first time... It is strange that our media is going ga ga about this lady... Yes we mourn her death and feel sorry for the way she was killed... But then this very lady has been directly responsible for killings in Kashmir... What you sow you reap...
MR.FRANCOISGAUTIER has rightly said abt. late madam bhutto. not only mrs. bhutto but also all democraticly elected leaders of pakistan or the dictators were neverfrindly with india and extended all possible help to millitents to create problems for india.it is not that mr. manmohansingh or any other self styled secular leader knew but only to keeping their vote bank in view they give such statements. similarly no pakistan leader can extend a hand of friendship towards indiaas it will make their voters unhappy.the lec tures and statements given both by indian and pakistani leaders is only for public consumption.the leaders of both countries can no longer make the people fools.
