U congress guys always behind girls....ur choice such as sonia looks like a dead duck....prathiba...who is a cheat and now a president...
Does this mean that the file will now come to Patil Tai? Lets see what she does. Am sure she would sit on it or pardon him (depending on what Sonia wants) to ensure that Muslim Vote Bank of Congress does not get impacted. In that case, it be a slap on Shiv Sena for being a traitor.

Is it a crime to support someone from one's own state when the person stands up for a high office from the same?
Mr. Thackrey did not break away from the NDA.
He only supported a Maharashtrian.
Is that a crime?
I agree that regionalism should pave way for NATIONALISM.
But Mr. Thackrey has always stood for Maharashtrians.
And Marathi people have been at the forefront in the National Struggle for Independence...May I add "FOR INDIA?"
And tell me one instance when Mr. Thackrey has compromised "The National Interest?"

You have some hope adn! Now patil tai will keep waiting for papers from Home Minister Patil Dada.Pati dada in turn will have to seek permission from Madam and Madam as you know is sacrifice personified.So see may just say "Hang me for the delay but please let Afzal go!"The moment this happens all the actors of the Great Congress Circus will indulge in all kinds of monkey tricks to tell all of us that "dear citizens of India,for the good of our country the Madam is ready to sacrifice.Instead why not make small sacrifice ourselves and drop the demand for Afzal's Hanging"At this all will be happy.Afzal will be released to take on the next terror job!!

When a Party leader arrives in a city/state, the state party leader would always be around him. It is always seen in news and print medie.Give it a thought. When Rajiv Gandhi was assasinated, why was no Top Congress leaders from Centre & Tamil Nadu around him? Just give it a thought. There's more to it than the eye can see.
RE:Shame on Kalam is this is true.

Kiran... whenever the President receives such mercy petition, he as an individual or in his capacity as President does not take a decision immediately. He reverts it to the expert committee/home ministry, because our country is governed by elected representatives and not by President. On receipt of their feedback, the President takes a decision, even if it is against the SC order. you need to understand the system/constitution before you come out with your remarks on the Persent of the highest stature in State
If Kalam thinks he is popular and fit for public life, leave alone the office of the President, why doesn't he make this explicit and contests for MP from Chennai.
People would fall over each other to vote for him. He can then contest for PMship in parliament.
But I know he wouldn't do that as he knows he can't win. He would contest only if he is sure to win and no other party puts candidate aganinst him.

Stop your nonsense. Politicians who win the elections in india rig the polls...there is no honest politician in india...r u blind..can u see what happens in the polls. only the rich and rowdy politicians win elections in india...
Everyone knows how our police departments fabricate cases. Most of the time within minutes of such terrorist acts, they claim that they found the guilty. If they are so good none of the crimes would have happened. Though our public knows this, if it is Kashmir related they tend to be emotional and side with whatever govt. says. Kudos to Mr. Kalam for taking a courageous decision knowing that it would not be a populist decision specially he being a muslim. You need guts to take such a decision.
However, I cannot support on his Bihar decision. Even a child knew that it was a fabricated case. He should have shown little more guts like his predecessor Mr. Narayan did.
No wonder what people say, but he has been my PERSON of the YEARS, more than AMITABH BACHAN. No woder, he has bestowed on me the NATIONAL AWARD which I am proud of.
Mr Kalam would surely have read in the media that a section of Indian citizens were opposed to the delay in deciding the mercy plea. If the matter was pending at Government level for long time, what prevented Mr Kalam from being pro-active and calling for the papers immediately? After all, he was in the supreme powerful seat of the country then. When it suited him, he showed activism. Not otherwise.

I agree with Sukumar Mehta. Did no one ask the same question to Mr. Kalam when he was a president? Why didn't he answer the same when he can do something? One can't escape from their duties by blaming someone else
