Ex-SIMI activist opens fire at police, Hyderabad on alert by Dr MVR Prasad on 2008-12-04 14:52:52.169578+05:30 It is a pity that the terrorist was allowed to escape. Of course,this is not the first episode of this nature. The incident speaks volumes about the the way our ruling establishment is so casual about the dreaded problem and the manner in which our police are ill-equipped to deal with the situation. It is unfortunate that the poor and ill-equipped, but sincere police personnel always become the casualty. I don't know as to when our leaders are going to wake up to deal with the matter seriously in the larger national interest. It is an open secret that Hyderabad is loaded with SIMI and ISI activists. It is shameful that one of the Ministers of the Andhra Pradesh Cabinet went all the way to pay a courtesy call to a confirmed and convicted Islamic terrorist. It is high time that our leaders stopped playing vote-bank politics and looked at the larger interest of the society and the nation.

simi activist wakar by raghu on 2008-12-03 20:37:16.815613+05:30 This is a mockery of police strength. How can a person not be caught? Definately he is beinghelped by large group of anti-indians. Any patriotic person would have handed him over.

SIMI by G. Gidwani on 2008-12-03 20:14:18.50311+05:30 So, they had him "surrounded" but he shot a cop and then got away. Sounds like a familiar story. At the train station in Mumbai the cops, armed with rifles, were hiding like cowards while the terrorists shot our citizens with impunity. One of theses days I would like to read that the Indian police actually captured a terrorist instead of running away like cowards.

Hyderabad firing by Nishith Sharma on 2008-12-03 20:03:11.540592+05:30 We are shocked after each incidence and then there is another that again shocks us. After Mumbai shock, now it is Hyderabad. Time we stop the modern Neros from playing strings and do the work that they promise us while asking for our Votes. Else, it is time to DUMP THE GARBAGE.

SIMI, friend of pseudo-secularists by ramesh kumar on 2008-12-03 19:40:59.883558+05:30 Dont chase the SIMI activists, they are the friends of Mulayam Yadav, Amar Singh, Lallo Prasad Yadav, Ram vilas Paswan, all of whom are counting on their vote bank! What a country? First we have to arrest these politicians who always argued for the SIMI activities and protected them.

SIMI activist by P K Agrawal on 2008-12-03 18:18:38.546351+05:30 Another bothed up act by the police. Just because one of their comrade was hit, the police managed to allow the SIMI activist run away. Is it an act of cowardice , negligence or simply inefficiency? Can the citizens of India feel better when police fails at every step of the way?

violence and vulgarity of policemen by Gauri Ghatnekar on 2008-12-03 18:18:19.070164+05:30 dear ie, i wonder if police are now being attacked far more... everyday we hear of the death of officers like mr karkare, ashok kamte and others, who die by the motivated mujahideen. some officers are beaten by the public venting their anger on them. they are beaten because they pick up people for breaking the law and the like. i even wonder if they are properly dressed. i recently saw a constable wearing kolhapuri chappals. god forbid they are chasing someone and there is alive wire, they would be shocked on the job...as electricity travels fastest through these footwear. ideally they shoudl wear rubber chappals so that they are safe even if overhead wires break, or they accidentally step ona wet live wire. i firmly feel that superiors should look into increased violence on the police force dress them appropriately for duty and look after them if they receive burns or wounds while on duty. they require good nurses to look after them and inject them with proper medicines.

simi activist escaped by ajay on 2008-12-03 17:01:29.907707+05:30 Police get the tip off, they send the police team, they find him too, he fire and escape. Is not it amazing. even after tip off, was there no closing of the escape routes, no additional back up? It show how competnet our police forces are to handle terrorist. or was it that some one did not want him to be arrested in the first place and a poor constable got shot Unnecessarily.

Intriguing - in the aftermath of Mumbai attack by Umesh Dubey on 2008-12-03 16:02:29.881308+05:30 This is dangerous - This was on a tip off in the aftermath of Mumbai attacks.....I dont think the Congress Govt here as well has the resolve to fight, plus the ill-equipped police. Police instead of trying to verify whether he was alone should start a hot pursuit and kill the terrorist if not able to capture alive. Hope sanity prevails both for the govt and Police.......

Wake Up India before it is too late. by Jatin on 2008-12-03 15:48:06.845258+05:30 This is all a drama to prove that the terrorists were from Indian soil. Why is the Indian government so meek ?? Why dont they come out with facts to show the world ie tapes, mobile phone conversations to prove that pakistan have their hands covered in blood. Zardari spoke to CNN make it clear to all over the world that pakistan has no hand in this. His facial expression and body language though showed what a liar he is. WAKE UP ATLEAST NOW. SHOW TO THE WORLD THAT IT WAS PAKISTAN WHO ORGANISED THIS GHASTLY ACT.DONT WASTE TIME.
