We too received this forward from a group and us friends decided that we as responsible citizens should take action against this act. So we searched Facebook and we didn’t find any article or status in Facebook and Profile of Shankar Prasad with the image as posted in the newspaper. I looked into — newspaper online and found the article. We being in software industry felt that the image posted by them was a photoshopped image. Now it is for the police to investigate where the image originated from. How did they get that image? If at all it is… Read more »
I request people of Dakshina Kannada/Udupi to have patience and allow the police to do their duty and catch the actual culprits.
I also request the media not to give importance to such stories and publish such information in news media. When you all know Dakshina Kannada/Udupi are 2 districts which are sensitive areas. Do not create confusion in people’s mind so that people fight with each other.
At least don’t play with the sentiments of those parents who have lost their children. Put yourself in their place and see how it hurts.
Media should always be cautious in such sensitive situations like this. Being a responsible citizen just to raise your newspaper’s TRP, do not publish such news which hurts the sentiments/emotions of people. A child is God’s gift. They are so innocent be it any religion. Before you publish investigate it yourself. Check Facebook if that piece of Status does really exist. If it exists then you can complain to FACEBOOK to remove that content. What — has done is a big blunder by publishing and then giving the opportunity to people to circulate it. The said newspaper when they received… Read more »
If arrested, what section of the IPC are you going to charge him under? Where exactly is this quest going to end? We can/should not have control over what other human being thinks. That should be that person’s fundamental right, as long as it does not cause any physical harm to others, or to their character or reputation. Regardless of the insensitivity of the comment, it is my view that people should be allowed to say what they have in mind without any fear, instead of forcing it to remain buried deep inside. It also gives the society as a… Read more »
Only a person who has lost his/ her loved ones will know the pain of it.
Wht section of IPC police will book is, not the public’s worry but hurting the sentiments of a community/person is not humanity. Don’t spread hatred. That’s all I wanted to convey. I was just trying to convey the message that media should think twice before they publish such insensitive details.
I understand one should be allowed to speak what is in his mind. But in this particular case where 8 innocent children have died, one must be mentally unstable to publish such comments in social media. I strongly suggest that police should send Prasad to a Psychiatric. We never know what kind of dangerous minds living in our society. If he has inherited Hitler’s genes, he should be treated before releasing him into the society.
I agree with Henry James(Bond). It’s not illegal to be stupid or insensitive as long as you are not inflicting damages on life, property or calling for violence. This guy, Shankara Prasaada, is a clear case of religious bigot who should be ridiculed for his insensitive remarks. If he is employed in a private sector, he may even get fired as nobody wants to be associated with these sick individuals. However, it is not illegal to make these extremely insensitive comments.
I read an article about India’s plans to modernize the Navy and also construction of pocket-size battle ships and equipping all warships with missiles and construction of mini-submarines for transporting commandoes to enhance their fighting capabilities and the punch they carry. The good thing is that they will be indigenously produced, i.e. built in Indian shipyards. Navy has made some or much headway in indigenisation. I salute them. Gone are the days of sonia Gandhi and Dr. Manmohan Singh combine when, if all that is reported in the media is to be believed, they were interfering with technical specifications set… Read more »
Kim Jon Un’s only qualification to lead the Stalist State of North Korea is dynastic rule: his father and grand-father ruled with a iron hand and grip and now it is his turn. Rightly so, it is calledd a “Hermit Kingdom”. It is high time the people of North Korea get rid of this nut, who rules this country in perpetuity, along with a very small elite. The per capita income of North Korea is very low and it has trade with China and Russia and, to a small extent, with its highly prosperous neighbour, South Korea, whose per capita… Read more »
