Dr Haneef, the Bangalorean, who was caught in Australia for his alleged involvement in the attempted Glasgow airport bombing has been freed. Australia could not muster enough evidence against him. The only proof they had was his sudden plan to leave Australia and was arrested at airport and he was the owner of the SIM card used by the terrorists who tried to blow away the airport.
Khafeel, Khafeel's brother and few other islam fundamentalists were involved in the Glasgow airport incident. Khafeel and another person drove the jeep laden with bombs into the airport. The bomb did not go off as expected and it was a botched attempt. In this, Khafeel was burnt and later died in hospital. No statement could be taken from him and so, many others will go scot free, including, possibly, Haneef.
Well, the worst part in all this is the importance given by Indian media to Haneef. All hue and cry was made over his arrest by the Australian police. PM himself went on record saying that he was pained and was not able to sleep on seeing Haneef's mother weep in TV. PM spoke to the UK PM and requested him not to single out any community in this episode.
What are we doing? Are we condemning terrorism? Or, are we supporting it? Do we have to adopt double standards, one for our country (Kashmir) and a different one for others?

Sanjay Dutt
Hi..
After a loooong gap, I decided to revive my bloggers link and have started my blogging with this post on Sanjay Dutt, the hotly discussed topic this week....
Is sentencing Sanjay Dutt for 6 years right or wrong?
If law prohibits possession of Arms and ammunitions without license then that has to be followed. Are all the laws of the land being followed?.. Well, thats a good question. They are supposed to be followed and Sanjay Dutt did not follow and got caught. So, its not the question of breaking the law, but getting caught is what all matters... right? Do we have any other solution? To me, possession of illegal arms and ammunitions is a very dangerous thing. Sanjay Dutt did posses them. More than that, he had got those weapons from India's most wanted terrorist group... the Dawood gang. He had close links with those folks. Those who face the fire must bear the heat. In my view, even though Sanjay Dutt is, on date, a good character, he has been punished for doing something illegal and is sentenced for that. So nothing wrong in that. I pity the person ... but, as said he has to face the heat. Just imagine, if I, a common man, had possessed the weapon and sentenced for life, will the fellow Indians stand up and ask questions???
