It is very astonishing to see how openly Mr. Yasin Malik is mingling with the LeT member Mr. Saeed in Pakistan and the Indian government failed to take any stern action to declare him a traitor.   Even though Mr. Yasin Malik lives in J & K, but has an easy access to the LeT leader.  One should not forget that it was Mr. Saeed among others who orchestrated a Mumbai attack.  It appears that Mr. Malik is one of the militants who help create terrorist cells in India and is, needless to say, a security threat for the country.  It is very essential for the Indian Government to keep a watchful eye on the activities of people like Mr. Malik.  These are the people providing all the in-house assistance to the Indian Mujahddins who end up creating a chaotic situation like a recent blast in Hyderabad.  He is one of the brainwashed people which is very clear from his comments he made to the newsman when asked about the revocation of his passport and a possible jail term.  He said 'let me rot in jail'.  These militants exploit the soft tenets of democracy.  I wonder if he could act the same way in any of the Muslim countries the way he is acting in India.  I have no doubt that he will be executed without wasting any time.  May be it is about time to treat the traitors differently and expeditiously by setting up special courts to bring these traitors to books.  If it warrants an amendment to the Indian Constitution, so be it.  THIS IS AN EVIL AND ROTTEN SEED AND SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED TO BLOSSOM.

To observe the religious circus happening in India is really a ridiculous scenario, whether it is for the type of movies made in India or someone's religious or political comments.  Instead of understanding and realizing the intent of people, people are just fighting over the words being used by others.  How sad?  As far as Mr. Hassan's threat to moving out of India or what will happen if Mr. SRK threatens to move to some other country, I can assure you that India will survive without them.  It is true that they are icons in their own fields and also are instrumental in creating a few jobs, but that does not provide them the privilege where India has to feel the pinch if they leave the country.  So long as they, or for that matter any Indian living in India, show their true allegiance to India, they should be respected equally.  This writer, by no means, is suggesting that they should leave the country, but the writer holds an opinion that everybody on this earth is replaceable including Mr. Hassan and Mr. SRK.  On their own volition, they can move anywhere they want.  However, when Pakistan's Interior Minister and LeT's leader Mr. Saeed supported Mr. SRK, it raised some eyebrows.  It is very interesting to note that all of a sudden the Pakistani leader is worried about the security of SRK - an Indian national.  One wonders why Mr. Malik is concerned only about SRK and not about other known Muslim personalities in India including the other Bollywood Muslim icons.  Does it reflect any political and religious affiliation between SRK and Pakistan or should one conjecture that it leads to some connection of the D-Company residing in Pakistan with the Bollywood arena in which SRK is part of. This is a point which needs to be probed thoroughly.   I THINK THE INDIAN POLITICIANS HAVE MORE IMPORTANT ISSUES TO DEAL WITH THAN WORRYING ABOUT PETTY RELIGIOUS SENTIMENTS.

It sounds like another ploy being hatched by the Chinese Government to entice the Indian Government to lower its guards.  This tactic reminds the writer a 1962 slogan of 'Hindi Chini Bhai Bhai' which was followed by a forceful aggression from China.  What happened in that battle is a history.  I am sure India does not want to face a similar embarrassment.  If India has learned any lesson from that miserable experience, India ought not to cave in at all.  Needless to say, militarily and economically speaking, India is in a much stronger position than it was in 1962, and China realizes it.  Hence, these so called friendly gestures from China.  In my opinion, unless China gets out of Ladakh area, provides freedom to Tibetans, move out of Arunachal Pradesh, India should not give too much credence to these friendly diplomatic hand shakes.  Keeping a diplomatic door open for exchanging political and diplomatic dialogues, exchanging cultural and business deals as well as normal friendly visits are fine.  But that is where it should end.  India needs to continue working on military R & D and equip the Indian defense forces with the equipments and armaments second to none.  In my opinion, if there is ever going to be a war in that region, India will be fighting a dual war which will involve Pakistan and China together against India.  Hence, an urgent need for updated and 5th generation fighting machines for the Indian forces.  INDIA HAS TO BE VERY VIGILANT AND PROACTIVE OF CHINESE CHESS-LIKE MOVES.

It is very interesting to note that all of a sudden the Pakistani leader is worried about the security of SRK - an Indian national.  One wonders why Mr. Malik is concerned only about SRK and not about other known Muslim personalities in India including the other Bollywood Muslim icons.  Does it reflect any political and religious affiliation between SRK and Pakistan or should one conjecture that it leads to some connection of the D-Company residing in Pakistan with the Bollywood arena in which SRK is part of. This is a point which needs to be probed thoroughly. As far as establishing peace between India and Pakistan along with the issuance of visas for the senior citizens are concerned, Mr. Mailk is talking like a broken record.  India has been trying since 1947 to achieve this goal, but without any concrete outcome.  One can expect friendly relations only if both parties are sincerely interested in pursuing it.  You cann't clap with one hand and it needs two to tango.  With the attitude Pakistan has since 1947, India should not waste its time,energy and resources unless there is a clear cut initiative shown by the Pakistani leaders towards this end which means initiating action to eradicate terrorism from its territory and bring the culprits of 26/11 to justice.  THE TIME IS NOW TO TELL PAKISTAN TO BEHAVE IN A CIVIL MANNER OR FACE THE CONSEQUENCES.

The fear of jihadis which the western world is realizing is real because the time is in favor of Jihadis.  The attack on World Trade Center in New York on 9/11 is a live example.  The militants tried to bring the towers down in 1993, but were not successful.  However, they kept their plans in motion and eventually after 8 years they achieved their goal.  Hence, the threat from brainwashed jihadis is real.  It does not matter whether it erupts in Mali, Pakistan or Afghanistan.  Unless the jihadi mentality is eradicated now, the world stands a good chance to see these rotten seeds growing all over the world.  Then it might become too late and more expensive to extirpate it.  Therefore, the burden is on the shoulders of a civilized community to join hands now and stop all aids and dealings with those countries who are abetting, financing and organizing the activities of these outlaw groups.  Currently, there is a handful of countries propagating these jihadi elements and it is easy to manage this problem.  Once these jihadis become successful in establishing their cells all over the world, it will become a big headache for the western world to overcome it and everybody is going to pay the price.  THE WESTERN WORLD OUGHT TO LISTEN TO WHAT PRIME MINISTER CAMERON OF UK IS STATING AND BECOME PROACTIVE TO ELIMINATE THIS JIHADI MOVEMENT FROM THE FACE OF THIS EARTH.

I agree with the Indian government stand of not making any hasty decision in this matter.  There is a need to put pressure on the Pakistani government to apologize publicly of what its forces have done at the LoC with an Indian soldier.  Secondly, the return of head of a mutilated soldier will be a big relief for the respective family.  Unless Pakistan adheres to these issues, opening a dialogue with Pakistan is senseless.  This writer holds an opinion that what has or is happening at the LoC is with the connivance of leaders at Islamabad to divert people's attention from the domestic social issues.  The leaders in Pakistan may also use unstable border situation at LoC as an excuse to postpone an impending election.  Also, as far as issuance of visas to the Pakistani nationals is concerned, it ought to be shut right away.  None of Pakistanis including artists, singers, and actors should be allowed to function in India.  IT IS ABOUT TIME THAT INDIA BECOMES AGGRESSIVE IN ITS DEALINGS WITH PAKISTAN.

''Mr. Owaisi's request to award him a special prison status is ridiculous. His statements, once proven in his voice, should be treated as a traitor's voice and he ought to be treated as a traitor. Most of the times, these government officials exploit the honor bestowed upon them by the Indian Constitution and they feel free to get involved into corruption and other illegal activities. This is the right opportunity for the Indian Government to amend the Constitution and treat all Indian citizens at par irrespective of their party affiliation, social and political status, gender, age, caste and creed. This is the only way to save the social fabric of a country. An enactment of tough laws to control anti-India movement/slogans/seminars and their strict compliance is the need of the time before it gets out of hand. ARE THE LEADERS AT THE CENTER AND STATES WILLING TO BE PROACTIVE TO CONTROL THIS ANTI-INDIA BEHAVIOR.''
