Humanism!!
by R ponnabalam on Jul 13, 2017 05:50 PM

"Was it right to strap a civilian to an army jeep in Kashmir?"If Gen.Sunderji emphatically telling that I cannot allow my men to be sitting ducks there " is unquestionable so is this;the soldier has a right to life when he is not on battle field against an enemy country.If a country's man harms an army without satisfactory reason he deserves to be court marshalled.In stead of shooting the man the army had tied him to the Jeep and the kashmiris didn't pelt stone at him.Let us clap hands for the humanism displayed in Kashmir that has driven away it's own states Kaashmiri pundits R.POnnambalam

Gogoi and Human Shield
by ayesha desai on Jun 22, 2017 07:45 PM

India is the only country where mainstream media questions bold actions of its own nation's military and para military forces and sympathizes with its own country's enemies and terrorists, militants. Rediff questions shooting of militants, terrorists but does not question when Mamta Banerjea shooting of Gorkha protestants or Mulayam Singh when he kills karsevaks. Our media richly desrve the sobriquet " PRESTITUTES AND PRIMPS INCOPULATED"

Gogoi & human shield

Gogoi was absolutely wrong in using a Kshmiri as a human shield. He should have announced on the loudspeaker that he was going to give the people gathered there three minutes to disburse, otherwise he would use real bullets to shoot them. He should have carried out shooting if they did not move away. This is what Mamta Banerjea did against Gorkhas. This is what Mulayam Singh did against Karsevaks. Our media and people like tough action.

Situation in Kashmir is totally different and cannot be compared with any other state. Army is working their in a very hostile situation. The civilians treat them as foreign army and the terrorists as their own Bhagat Singhs. Hence what Mr Gagoi did in the given situation to save bloodshed was very innovative and wise. When we talk about violation of human rights, army men are also humans and pelting stones on them (just to get a small salary) is totally inhuman.

You are lucky.Rediff has displayed it.When you say that they treat Indian army as foreign army they do not consider themselves Indians;they work for another country.That is the crux of the problem R,POnnambalam

Pallet Guns
by ishwar gurnani on Jun 22, 2017 11:09 AM

In M.P, police fired real bullets at unruly crowd. But in Kashmir only pallet guns and other soft weapons are used against the mobs. Still people talk about human rights for people who are supporting terrorists!

UN resolution. What it says
by radhakrishna topalle on Jun 21, 2017 11:43 AM

In a recent, interaction of UN meet on Pak,as usual, like any pakistani, one pak scholar,raised the issue of Kashmir.That lady interlocutor asked him, did u read the UN resolution.Prompt he said no. Before fooling u r self pl read the resolution. It said first pak to vacate the PoK,then India will demilitarise to the extent sufficient enough for its territorial protection against the aggression, thirdly after UN satisfies it self that POK is vacated by Pak then plebicite will be held. All the 3 STEPS above are sequential & conditional. Now pak has not accomplished the step 1, balance 2 does not arise, this is what UN rep said, not India

Gallantry awards are given for actions in the face of the enemy.What Maj Gogoi did was an isolated action in the face of an unruly crowd.Using a human being,and that too your own citizen,is questionable.But since the man at the scene decided to resort to this action to save lives his action is justified .In the armed forces whatever is done in good faith is acceptable even if the result is not positive.A commander at the scene of action has to take a decision without looking back for instructions from the top and that is the ethos of the Army.

Time for the Iron Fist
by Stephen Narayanan on Jun 20, 2017 11:46 AM  | Hide replies

I can challenge that instead of civilian, next time in such situation the army should tie Hurriyat,PDP and other separatist leaders to the Jeep...Mirwaiz, Lone,Geelani etc.,it would be a revelation for them as to how popular they are....instead of using our army as a bait,let them be given a free hand just for 15 days and I'm sure all problems of Kashmir would be sorted out.

When detail of deployment of Army personals is a secret, why always shown the picture of major Gogoi? It is more wrong to publish the picture of the Major than unconventional method of the Major. Why complained the bitterness of the medicine without thinking about the hatefulness of the disease? If don\'t can\'t accept distastefulness of the medicine, cure the illness first. That is the job of politicians.
