I don't have access to new channels right now. Is it confirmed that NSG is already on the scene?

10.05 am: Security forces have not been able to establish contact with the terrorists. There are contradictory figures about the number of terrorists. Sources however say that it is confirmed that there are four terrorists inside the police station. The terrorists continue to fire and appear to have a lot of ammunition on them. They have not made any demand

schinnas wrote:The semantics of "persuation" matter here. the debate in BRF is not on whether Memon is guilty or whether he deserves the punishment. I doubt there is any second guessing on that aspect. However, if a solemn promise is made by officials representing India, it needs to be honored.
There is more to this. For one, did the GoI formally endorse any intelligence agencies to make promises to Yakub Memon and induce him to surrender? If such endorsement cannot be proven, then how can GoI be blamed for any actions taken by the police or intelligence agencies? An intelligence officer may have given some promise, but how can that be automatically tagged as assurance from GoI? And for all you know, Yakub Memon may have been influenced by a person, who may not be an Intelligence Agency official, but a double agent or a small time goon who may have been working on the side for the intelligence agencies. If this fellow's death sentence gets commuted on any grounds, rest assured that no terrorist (or criminals from any minority religion in India) is every going to see the hang man's noose.

How far is Gurudaspur from the Kashmir border areas? The terrorists if they entered through Kashmir, would have to also cross Jammu to reach the plains of the Punjab? But I feel this attack may be connected to the Yakub Memon hanging. I was always having a feeling that Dawood and that "Tiger" rascal would try some thing dirty. Perhaps no major attacks, but some thing to show their depseration and the fact that they are still trouble makers. I was also hoping that right after the death warrant was issued, the agencies may have started monitoring the communication channels to pick up any "chatter".

As per NDTV report, six people including two police men have been killed. The terrorists are holed up in the police station building. That makes it also a bit more riskier as the terrorists can also use the arms inside the station armoury. As per the reports 5 live bombs have also been found near the railway tracks in the area.

gurdaspur is 5km from the international border on the main NH to pathankot, jammu and srinagar.

despite being a muslimish area, the partition map maker radcliffe sahib left that place to us, which gave us a road to rush reinforcements to save srinagar in 1948.

May 31, 1988 there was a bomb blast in the Dinanagar vegetable market that killed 5 people. Apart from that I don't see any significance to Dinanagar. Nor do I find any significance to this date.

I'm guessing that this attack was intended for J&K but the terrorists could not make it there.

Very interesting if Khalistan groups are now being unleashed on Punjab. The Khalistan movement has picked up quite a bit in California. PA is extremely smart in racking this up now. With BJP usurping more of the hindu vote, jihadi groups and ISIS spreading their tentacles in Kashmir, Kerala, Assam, WB, etc., opening up a new front in Punjab would give them additional leverage. Modi has to turn the heat up in Balochistan and Sindh.

Gurdaspur district is one area in Punjab that has a Hindu majority. Vinod Khanna is the MP from there. It has always been a target for Khalistani terrorists in the past.

Lt.Gen. Brar of Operation Bluestar was mentioning that Gurdaspur was always a sensitive area and the state govt. has been going soft on separatists and was planning release few of them as a measure of goodwill. Its time they need to re-look at the strategy.

While watching the various TV reports, it seems that the feed has been regulated and the atleast english channels have been showing the same visuals. Nidhi Razdan was specifically alerting the reporters and mentioning that they do not want to give out any sensitive info.

Everyone agrees that the terrorists came from J&K. One of the possible targets was the Amarnath Yatris who use the same route. One of the buses attacked was going to Jammu. Govt. isnt giving any info as the operation is still on going, insisting that the details will be made available once its over. the behavior of the reporters is disgusting, they are falling over each other while shooting questions on the Ministers (Home, Defence).

Breaking: SP Gurdaspur killed during the operation.

generally in such ops its best for senior officials who are no longer gun-fit to don normal uniform and not present high value propaganda targets to terrorist snipers who may be specifically briefed to shoot officers just as IPKF faced that problem.

its time to be cautious and bring to bear heavy firepower if its confirmed no hostages are held. bring in some bulldozers and a tank and pound the pigs. bury them wrapped in a fresh pig skin with full 21 gun salute on tv. pathankot would certainly have some tanks....

they are testing with such pin pricks on whether our capability to hit back is intact. They have these operations in Waziristan going on you see. They need to test whether it is working. It is not necessary to respond at every move of theirs but just when they get complacent getting into an easy pattern just whack them senseless and hit a six out of the park.

I have a feeling a few pigs have managed to go loose and authorities are desperately conducting a manhunt for them. Until they are found and neutralised, the situation is not under control. Curfew in Gurudaspur and media black out are certainly necessary steps to avoid panic. I hope they manage to get things under control. The last thing we want is one of the pigs holing up in some Gurudwara. That will be a master stroke by ISI.

Kalistan is meaningless unless the traditional areas of Sikhs of Lahore and Nakana Sahib is obtained for them. I think it is a legitimate demand that borders of Kalistan start 20kms west of Amritsar. It should consist of 60,000 sq km and those who don't eat Jatka meat must immediately leave this land.

SC judge questions choice of judges in Memon’s curative plea
In open court, Justice Joseph repeatedly questioned why the curative plea was not circulated among all the judges who had heard Memon’s review petition.
.........
He quoted that under Order 48, Rule 14 of the Supreme Court Rules, all the judges who had heard the review should be made part of the curative exercise.


Hmm.. some how I get a feeling that this fellow would get a last minute reprieve :roll:.
