I do not know much about the Naxal movement in Jharkhand but one this is for sure, the political establishment of this country will never look for solutions unless one of their own is affected. Governments simply do not care as long as the blood lost is that of soldiers, police men and common people. Lets see what happens now as their own man is down!! I guess one of these two things will happen: - All MPs, MLAs will beef up their personal security and let the hapless policemen and common people die OR - If there are some true leaders, a solution to the Naxal problem will be seriously worked upon.
God save the people of Jharkhand. Its sad that men take onto become animals. My exposure to jharkhand has been for 2 months and all I have seen is pessimism , fear, cruelty, crime, pain, and animal politics. I have no words to express. There is no point blaming government when you have people with minimal or no eduication ruling. people whop had not seen money have become rulers of treasury. All such incidences are obvious. Certainly these are not surprises
We canot justiffy these type of act by any means.Naxlites may have some reason which was not not in faver to them if it is like this they should raise this problem in correct platform.This is a hinious act which is not going to solve but creat new problems.i condem this act.jp sahi chandigharh.
by sparing Afzal Guru,govt has given a clear indication that no action will be taken against terrorists unless it is politically expedient esxpedient from vote-bank politics.

I agree. Our poiticians love one line from the song"Blowing in the wind" by Bob Dylan- And that is: "How many deaths will it take to be known that too many people have died, The answer my friends is blowing in the wind!" So while our pied pipers merrily sit over Afsal Guru's petition, let us await another Kandahar hijacking, or something more horrific to secure the release of Afzal Guru!

Go and hang him, What then!! Afzal will be hero not only in kashmir but throught the world. I think Bagat singh has also attacked parliment of some country, don't u project him as a hero and don't u call him SHAHEED Baghat singh. Similarly Afzal will be projected as a hero, because he has commited the same sin which the hero of India Bagat singh has commited some decades before.

Your comment that Bhagat Singh attacked the Parliament of "some country" speaks volumes of your commitment to the country and nationalism! Bhagat Singh attacked British aggressors of his country, while Afzal Guru was acting against his own country and at the behest of his masters in some other country.

Bagath Singh dropped harmless smoke bombs into the well of the parliament of British india. He wanted to awaken the british rulers and the world to the injustice being done to our countries( reading ur view iam assuming ur from a neigbouring country). He didnt go about firing AKs and throwing grenades and RDX bombs and killing people...

Can anybody cut the tongue and chop off the fingers of this racsal who dares to compares Terrorist Afjal Guru with patriot Bhagat Singh?
....What has happened is probably something not to be mourning about, but to take stock of.....Naxalites are not mercenaries, they dont do it for money but for an idealistic, equal and just society....a society which guarantees the right to live, and not merely to exist.....where everybody is an equal, where there is complete social justice......i am not justifying violence as an end in itself......but such is the state of social injustice in India, and such ignorant are the people here, that they dont understand the necessity of Reservations as a means to equality, and protest against it !!......the oppressed people have no other choice, but to resort to violence, as an ultimate weapon......The killing of the MP is really unfortunate, but for once, people should look at the plight of the really oppressed downtrodden mass, which makes up the bulk of our nation, and which doesnt have access to the luxuries we take for granted......not even minimal food, education and health !!.....People reading this blog should realise that there are scores of other Indians who havent ever seen a computer.....let alone read a blog !!......its high time india proved it was really 'Socialist'.

A well written and sensible message. Can we face the reality and empower, educate, feed the vast majority of the rural poor?
A nationwide credible "minimum" income guaranteed system for every one whether they work or not will bring in "dignity" instead of desperation for the working poor and "inheritance taxes" will stimulate "compassion" instead of collusion.
Such system will prevent all socioeconomic issues in India viz farmer suicides, dowry deaths, child labor, fear, frustration, corruption, bribery, prostitution, terrorism etc.
In USA,UK,Germany,Portugal, Brazil, Belgium etc this system is implemented. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Guaranteed_minimum_income#Examples_of_implementation http://en.wikipedia.org/ wiki/Inheritance_taxes
Being a Jamshedpuri, i really feel bad after losing our MP, if it would happened in Kashmir or delhi the whole political party starts blaming Pakistan for terorist activity, but what about our own nexalites whether in assam, andhra, chhatigarh . where they easily attack political leaders as well as innocent people and run away, remember some times back attacked on chandera babu naidu. whole political party should think about it .
they are uselesly blaming the naxals...its very clear its the work of bjp who wanted to retain the jsr costituency...its the work of bhiku s what the locals call for outsiders...surely a strong protest from the local people is in the offering

BJP and other upper caste hindu groups in that region do have a very violent record. I don't understand why their role can be ruled out on this one?
Let us condemn the brutal killing of the MP.The terrorists( naxal or communal) problem should be deal with iron hand.The social problems which are the cause for naxalisim should be initiated with very much care .By taking some efective social measures the naals can be kept away for the society.
