The news of “braveheart” MC Sharma’s tragic death is a few hours old now. Another story of a firehearted warrior dying on the call of duty, etc. Three points strike immediately.
-
Was his death really necessary?
-
How many more MC Sharmas are we prepared to lose this way considering that the current crop of clowns ruling us care nary about the free-for-all terror that stalks our streets?
-
Think about if Sharma was alive and had caught the terrorists. How would the media, which now mourns his death in decent language, react to the plight of the apprehended terrorists? It would be Afzal Guru Part 2.
Sandeep, answer to no 1
No! Had m c sharma been only little more careful, this tragedy could have been avoided. refer to this: http://theprudentindian.wordpress.com/2008/09/20/inspector-m-c-sharma-‘false-bravado’-at-nations-cost/
ans. to 2. Sadly Sandeep no one know. Let me point to you and your readers that under this UPA unusually high nos of sleuths are killed by the terrorists than under any other … even under previous ‘accidental governments’.
ans. to 3. He and his team would have been lynched by the Secular and human Right wolves by now. We both know Secularists would have raised so much of stink with the ever obliging MSM digging all the records of M C Sharma’s alleged links with ‘Underworld’! By now CNN IBN would have dug up the ‘ill gotten’ wealth accumulated by M C sharma! Barkha Darling would have called all the usual suspects in her GK studio ‘splitting hair’: How these fake encounters ‘alienate’ the peace loving so innocent yet discriminated and prosecuted Minorities! By now the dirty harry Sriprakash jaiswal would have dammed every one and of course Karnatka , MP and Orissa would have come handy….
ALL USUAL AS ALWAYS. sic!
Afzal Guru 2 or not? Do not know, but certainly would have been another VANJARA (Gujarat cop) … hounded and hunted.
KPS Gill made a very apt remark on Friday evening in some TV show. He told that death of MC Sharma has somehow spared Delhi Police attracting the ire of Secularists and HR Activists as this death has changed the Public Mood and they shall not hear a word against Police action.
San,I live in Delhi and very familiar with it. The locality in which this counter took place is literally impregnable for any POLICE force. If you and any of your reader had seen the action on TV, they just saw only a fraction of what the Area is all about. Without exaggerating, let me tell you Delhi would have been on fire. Despite the untimely death of MC Sharma, that part of Delhi is simmering.
PI.
People are dead
Terrorists are dead
Police are dead
But Shivraj Patil is alive
…the irony of life.
