What
would the reactions of our imminent personalities and institutions on
the mutilation and decapitation of Lance Naik Hemraj and Lance Naik
Sudhakar Singh during an ambush by Pakistani forces? The writer’s view:-
Manmohan
Singh: We condemn this dastardly attack on the sovereignty of the
nation and urge our neighbouring country to look into the matter to see
that these kind of incidents are not repeated. We also appeal to the
citizens of the country to maintain peace. Theek hai.
Sonia
Gandhi: We condemn this inhuman and barbaric act and warn that such
incident will not be tolerated. We will raise these concerns with
Pakistan at a suitable time.
Salman
Khurshid: We demand an apology from the Pakistan MEA. Such
irresponsible acts will hurt the peace talks and confidence building
measures. We can raise this issue in UN.We will send a strong worded
letter to the Pakistani authorities for this ghastly ……….….
AK Antony: Pakistan should be given one week to explain this, failing which it should be given two weeks, failing which……
Rahul
Gandhi: This attack is certainly alarming but still, we must not forget
that the biggest challenge we face is Saffron terror.
Sushilkumar Shinde: Atleast we are certain that this attack wasn’t carried out by Shri Hafeez Saeed.
Digvijay Singh: Looks like an RSS conspiracy to malign our friendly neighbours.
Nitish
Kumar: We must not react in a hasty way which can threaten the secular
fabric of the country or which could spoil the goodwill built by my
Pakistan trip.
RR Patil: Badi badi sarhadon par chhoti chhoti hatyaen hoti rehti hain.
Arvind Kejariwal: As this is not related to Janlokpal or anti corruption movement, it will not be wise to comment on the issue.
Anna Hazare: I promise to go on a hunger strike for two days to condemn this when my current hunger strike obligations are over.
Prashant Bhushan: Didn’t I tell you that AFSPA was to blame for all this?
Laloo Yadav: We must not let the communal forces to take advantage of this incident.
Mayawati: Were the soldiers Manuvadis or from the Bahujan Samaj?
Sheila Dixit: Atleast Delhi is much safer than the LoC.
Mulayam Singh: Whatever happens, the relations between the two countries should not affect the communal harmony in the country.
Mamata Banerjee: This would not have happened if Defence Ministry were handled by our party.
Shivanand Tiwari: India and Pakistan are two sides of the same coin.
Markandey
Katju: We must remember that India and Pakistan are enemies only
because of the British. They made us forget our composite culture . We
have so much in common, even 90% of Pakistanis are idiots.
Arundhati Roy: This is a positive assertion of the Pakistani proletariat fighters against the Indian bourgeoise forces.
N
Srinivasan: Does this mean that Indian cricket team’s tour to Pakistan
is cancelled? Are we to skip bidding for Pakistan players in this
season’s IPL as well?
NDTV:
This is a huge setback to bilateral relations between the two
countries. People to People contact has to be increased to diffuse the
tension.
India TV: Kya Bhatatiya sena kee grah disha bigad gayi hai?
Mahesh
Bhatt: India must apologise to Pakistan for straying so close to the
border. To make up for this folly, my next project will exclusively
feature Pakistani artistes.
LK Advani: The government must convince US to declare Pakistan as a terrorist state.
Candle
light activists: We can protest only against real issues that affect us
all, like publicity hogging when an unfortunate girl gets brutalized or
for the youth right to night life (or when we are funded by the likes
of Ford foundation). Doesn’t the army have weapons to protect itself? We
certainly feel that this issue is not that important for us.
Dreamers: It is the death of the rebel and the poet that shakes us from within, we are far away from the violent geopolitics.
Common Man: When even the soldier is not safe, how can I be?

great distinction between its scholars and its warriors will have its
laws made by cowards and its wars fought by fools- Thucydides.

We learn from history that we learn nothing from history-George Bernard Shaw.
Cry, my beloved country.
