HOMAGE PAID TO 26/11 MARTYRS

 
26/11 Mayhem a Grim Reminder of Our Perilous Neighbourhood: Antony

The Defence Minister Shri AK Antony has reiterated the nation's resolve not to allow a repeat of 26/11 – type mayhem by terrorists in the country. In a message on the second anniversary of the terrorist attack on Mumbai, Shri Antony said, it is a grim reminder of the volatile and perilous state of our neighbourhood and thereby, the need for constant vigil. He said, his thoughts go out to the families to the victims and the extraordinarily brave security personnel who lost their lives in the carnage. 
Both Houses witnessed a brief spell of calm after so many days of uproar when statements paying tributes to the 26/11 victims were read out by Chairman Hamid Ansari in Rajya Sabha and Speaker Meira Kumar in Lok Sabha.
In the Rajya Sabha, Ansari read out a statement paying tributes to the victims of the 26/11 terror attacks and mourned the death of 391 people in a stampede in Cambodia. In the Lok Sabha, Kumar made a statement on the Mumbai terror attacks, after which members observed silence.

Earlier when the House met for the day, Opposition members were in the well even before Ansari came in. They, however, took their seats after Ansari said he had to make obituary reference. After the obituary reference, the members again created unruly scenes forcing adjournment of the House till noon.
In the Lok Sabha too, calm was witnessed for a brief while when the House took up the obituary reference in memory of the 26/11 victims.
An Independent member elected from Banka in Bihar, Putul Kumari, took oath.

The Battle of Longewala

After drifting for approximately thousand kilometers from Alwar, I have reached Longewala. This place romanticizes me allot. The battle of Longewala a legend in itself. It is located at 120 kms from city of Jaisalmer. Only way to reach this place is boulevard and if you are tourist then you have to hire a cab. Longewala is prevalent because of the illustrious skirmish tussled between India and Pakistan in 1971. The clash of Longewala is all about how hundred odd men clogged and overwhelmed approximately 2000 Pakistani legionnaires. This battle was all about the audacity, impetus, chauvinism and drive to prizefight exhibited by those eighty Indian warriors. This scuffle is one of my favorite scuffles, and whenever I come to this place, my mind start envisaging how horde of men repudiated the destiny. During the Indo-Pak war of 1971, A-Coy of 23 Punjab had taken up the defences at Longewala. The A-Coy company commander was Major Kuldeep Singh Chandpuri later on emer...
