hello kensy

> ... the Supreme Court ruled that the police had framed the 11 Muslims
and
"somehow tried to get them identified through witnesses who belonged to
the
community from which the people were burnt alive." You see, two of the
women
who died had not identified the accused in their dying statements...
------------- where have i criticised the supreme court or asked for a
review of its judgement...? did any hindutvawadi...?


> Quoting precedent, 11 persons of the Bombay blasts case were released
on
bail and 40 more followed. Then, the Act itself was scrapped -- by the
use
of the communal card. And now those convicted by the TADA court have
been
set free by the Supreme Court...
>
> Hell, those convicted by the TADA court *are* guilty, no two ways
about
it. But the minority syndrome won't let our dunder-headed liberals see
it
that way. All that the controversial judgment will do is put the
Hindus'
backs up a little more. It has mine.
----------- ditto.

> My question to you simply is:
>
> Why do you accuse the "secularists" of a "wrong" (criticising an SC
judgment) when you have done it yourself in the past?
>
> Or is it that the SC is "sacred" only when its judgments agree with
yours?
----------- see above.

> PS(ii) - A copy of this mail will be put up on my weblog -
