Another mail forward worth publishing




This is a Mail which I got as a forward:




A MUST READ.......

Something to think about..!!


Shame on Indian Media??? Really what a shame...




By the time u guys read this news, the body of Major Manish Pitambare,who was shot dead at Anantnag, would have been cremated with full militaryhonors.




On Tuesday, this news swept across all the news channels 'Sanjay Duttrelieved by court'. 'Sirf Munna not a bhai' '13 saal ka vanvaas khatam' 'although found guilty for possession of armory, Sanjay can breath sigh ofrelief as all the TADA charges against him are withdrawn' Then manypersonalities like Salman Khan said 'He is a good person. We knew he willcome out clean'. Mr Big B said "Dutt's family and our family have relationsfor years he's a good kid. He is like elder brother to Abhishek". His sister Priya Dutt said "we can sleep well tonight. It's a great relief"




In other news, Parliament was mad at Indian team for performing bad; Greg Chappell said something; Shah Rukh Khan replaces Amitabh in KBC andother such stuff. But most of the emphasis was given on Sanjay Dutt's"phoenix like" comeback from the ashes of terrorist charges. Surfing through the channels, one news on BBC startled me. It read "Hisbul Mujahidin's most wanted terrorist 'Sohel Faisal' killed in Anantnag , India. Indian Major leading the operation lost his life in the process. Four others are injured.




It was past midnight , I started visiting the stupid Indian channels,but Sanjay Dutt was still ruling. They were telling how Sanjay pleaded tothe court saying 'I'm the sole bread earner for my family', 'I have adaughter who is studying in US' and so on. Then they showed how Sanjay wasnot wearing his lucky blue shirt while he was hearing the verdict and alsohow he went to every temple and prayed for the last few months. A suspectin Mumbai bomb blasts, convicted under armory act...was being transformedinto a hero.




Sure Sanjay Dutt has a daughter; Sure he did not do any terroristactivity. Possessing an AK47 is considered too elementary in terroristcommunity and also one who possesses an AK47 has a right to possess apistol so that again is not such a big crime; Sure Sanjay Dutt went to allthe temples; Sure he did a lot of Gandhigiri but then........ ...




Major Manish H Pitambare got the information from his sources about theterrorists' whereabouts. Wasting no time he attacked the camp, killedHisbul Mujahidin's supremo and in the process lost his life to the bulletsfired from an AK47. He is survived by a wife and daughter (just like Sanjay Dutt) who's only 18 months old.




Major Manish never said 'I have a daughter' before he took the decisionto attack the terrorists in the darkest of nights. He never thought abouthaving a family and he being the bread earner. No news channel covered thissince they were too busy hyping a former drug addict, a suspect who'slinked to bomb blasts which killed hundreds. Their aim was to show how he defied the TADA charges and they were sosuccessful that his conviction in possession of armory had no meaning. They also concluded that his parents in heaven must be happy and proud ofhim.




Parents of Major Manish are still living and they have to live rest oftheir lives without their beloved son. His daughter won't ever see her daddy again.
