Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
All I wish to see Indian muslim supporting us, the kashmiri pandits, who did the crime of being pandit in the valley, for which we were killed and chased out from the holy land:(
You will have to wait forever. The Indian muslims don't seen to care because Pundits are Hindus. OTH if you were an illegal Bangla muslim, there will be many to stand up for you. Atleast it looks like that right now.

Bulk of the North-East rumours sourced from Pakistan: Home Secretary | NDTV.com
**Bangalore: Home Secretary RK Singh has made a startling revelation. The bulk of the North-East rumours, in the form of doctored MMSes and text messages that warned that students and professions from the North-East will be attacked, originated from Pakistan, said Mr Singh. The Home Secretary also said that New Delhi will raise this issue with Pakistan.
“We have got a hold on the wrong messages, false images… Photos of people who had died in cyclones etc. were circulated as victims of violence in Myanmar and Bodoland… We want people to know that bulk of this was done from Pakistan. We will raise this issue with Pakistan. I am certain they will decline it but our technical team is certain,” he said while addressing a press conference this evening in New Delhi.
In a viral elect of these MMSes and SMSes, people of the North-Eastern community headed back home in panic.
Earlier today, 16 people were arrested from different parts of Bangalore for alleged assaults on people from the North-East. Three of them are being questioned for alleged rumour-mongering, said L Pachau, Director General of Police, Karnataka. He added that their laptops and mobile phones have also been seized.
**The fresh arrests come a day after five people were arrested in the city for allegedly spreading rumours, according to Press Trust of India.
Over the last week, cities like Hyderabad, Bangalore and Pune have been on edge with their large North-Eastern communities feeling insecure about their safety. In the last month, nearly 80 people have died in ethnic violence in Assam and doctored MMS-es and text messages have infected other states.
In Assam, Chief Minister Tarun Gogoi is trying his best to convince those returning to the state from Bangalore, Hyderabad and Pune that they should go back to the cities they work in as soon as possible.
Speaking to NDTV, Mr Gogoi also said that he has been in touch with the chief ministers of various states in the South and that they have all assured him that precautionary measures have been put in place to ensure safety and security of people from the North-East.
''I am telling everyone who is coming back to return. The government of Karnataka has assured full protection. I want all of them to go back as soon as possible. We will arrange for special trains from here to southern states whenever they want," he said.
The chief minister added that along with the Centre, his government too was investigating the source of rumours and was trying to identify those who are trying to trigger panic in the North-Eastern community in Bangalore and other cities by deliberately misreporting facts.
But this may offer little assurance to the thousands of North-East citizens who arrived in Guwahati this morning after a long journey from cities in Hyderabad and Bangalore. Many of them said didn’t know when they would go back.
“I was in Bangalore for nine months. I won’t go back, even if I don’t get any work in Assam,” says Albert, one of the boys. “We have the right to stay to anywhere in the country. What is happening is not right,” says another.
At the station, a few of those who have returned say the threats were real and not perceived. “They threatened us directly. Not on the phone. They told us to leave. No one in the police helped,” revealed a man who returned from Bangalore.
Most of the boys who’ve returned are from remote parts of Assam - Lakhimpur, Majuli, Sibsagar. For many, the lack of employment opportunities in their home state means staying back is not an option. “When it calms down, we will have to go back. Don’t know how long we will stay here because we have to think of the future,” says Abhijit.
The government, in the meanwhile, has promised to track down those who triggered panic by sending out threatening and incendiary messages and has banned bulk SMSes and MMSes for the next 15 days.
Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
Sir i am waiting for you to call a spade a spade.....
do you condemn killing of bengali muslims or not?
Killing anybody is reprehensible . Some of those killed were not bengali muslims. They were illegal Bangladesh foreigners who had sneaked in to settle in India. Rest of the casualities were bodo tribals. So where is your sympathies for the tribals whose land was usurped by these aliens who had no right to be there? Please call a spade a spade and do the right thing.
Re: ‘‘Thousands flee Banglore’’
Wherever they were sourced from, this level of panic would not have taken place without local support. First these thugs and malcontents inside the country must be dealt and made an example of. There is no use pointing fingers at outsiders without securing the country.

Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
My point re bias stands. Not the end of the world. Ee all have it. Accepting it is 1st step. Hopefully I am also out of this thread.
You want me to accept that I've defended the "abominable behaviour" when I clearly used the word pathetic referring to the violent protests?
Baat rahi conversion ki tau do you remember where I ended our discussion in the other thread? By agreeing with you guys after you explained to me why it was such a big deal and by saying pardon me for being so naive about the issue. Jahan kuch accept karne ki baat hoti hai, wahan I'll never hesitate to do so. But sorry, nothing to accept here. I haven't and won't ever justify the desecration of holy scriptures and buildings. I'd appreciate if you didn't attribute such outrageous statements to me.
Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
@ calypsodc
Correct! This sort of mass panic is not just because of "some rumors". The government along with their paid media is using their favorite boogeyman to distract attention from where the real source of the threats to the NE people is.

Why blame Muslims, even a Hindu doesn't care for other Hindus in sickular India.
It is curious how the mainstream media completely blacked out the issue of amar-jawan memorial desecration. Imagine, US media remaining completely mute about public vandalism of a war memorial ! Whenever goons from ABVP disrupt some bar, likes of Rajdeep Sardesai and JNU sociologists wax eloquently for days about the specter of "Hindutva Terror". However, till now, no mainstream media outlet has shown the photos of vandalism of Lord Buddha and Lord Mahavira.

I have not attributed any such thing. Why bring up the Hindu conversion here? Yes I. Noe recall you acknowledged at the time. By trivializing it now...
You misrepresented drnas statement of majority fleing to Muslim fleeing. Your overall posts in this thread are biased. No biggie. We all are. Just need to acknowledge that to ourselves. That's all.

Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
^ well they are welcoming Pakistani hindus.
Are you now implying the immigrants from Bangladesh are persecuted in Bangladesh as much as Hindus in Pakistan?
Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''
It is curious how the members here are comparing, the immigration of Hindus/Tamils from Pakistan/Sri Lanka with the illegal immigration of Bangladeshis. The former communities are minorities and are oppressed in their respective countries and their numbers are miniscule (some thousands). OTOH, Bangladeshis chose to separate from us on the basis Two-Nation theory, and constitute the majority in their country.The immigrants from BD number in millions and have completely altered the demographic geography of Assam. Still, they were allowed pre-1971 because of war crimes committed against them. However, there is no place in India for those who came after 1971.
From Nepal, not only Hindus but Muslims/Buddists/Kabbalists/etc., all are allowed. Also they come here to work, and don't settle here as "citizens".
Re: ''Thousands flee Banglore''

Au contraire, the government is very cunning. They can't very well alienate their votebank by revealing the true source of threats.

If it happens with the muslims it is tragedy with hindus it is either data or i7enquiry commission:(

Your first sentence is great.
But you negated that by saying rest of the sentences.
You identified few groups here. Those who were killed but not muslims. These are illegal foreigners. (Rest are bodo). Yet others are whose land was usurped.
Being Bengali muslims or not muslims should not matter but being illegal Bangladeshi foreigners is more of a problem for you.
Now why the H, you could not say all killings are reprehensible without bringing various groups is something to be noted.
You have a whole lot more sympathy with those who lost their land than (if any) with those who were killed regardless of being muslims or not.

Nope. Not at all. I hate all types of killings. If the muslims had protested the killings of all people, I would have stood up to support it. But what happened is that muslim groups are protesting the killings of just one section of the rioters who are illegal immigrants **only because they are muslims **and have started intimidating Indians in other parts of the country. Where is their protest for the tribals who lost their lives ? The tribals are minority elements of the society too ? Who will speak up for this section of the society? They are even more smaller in number than the muslims. This fact is not tolerable. By doing that they pit themselves against the rest of India on the basis of religion which is a reprehensible and foolish thing to do. Double standards should not be tolerated or accepted by any one anywhere.

Re: ‘‘Thousands flee Banglore’’
:smack:
why do retards like this get responsible and sensitive positions?
the Bodos were appeased by the congress in the last 10 years, to make them give up their separatist movement. and now they have started this new angle of violence targeting bengalis in assam, they just happen to be muslims and this is complicating the whole face of it. this isnt all that different from when biharis and bengalis in urban assam used to be targeted and massacred by the ulfa not too long ago. i dont care if these people are bangladeshis or not, giving the bodo killers any sympathy is undoing all the work done in quelling the separatist fire in assam.
