Obama backs Indian efforts to catch Mumbai attackers

Zeenews Bureau

Chicago, Dec 01: A day after calling Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and expressing deepest condolences over the tragic loss of innocent lives in Mumbai terror attacks, US President-elect Obama on Monday said that he is "steadfast" in support of India's effort to catch those behind attacks on the financial capital.

On November 28, US President George W Bush, who is at forefront of the ‘war on terror’, expressed grief over the loss of lives in the wake of attacks in Mumbai, in which atleast 183 lost their lives including five Americans.

He further promised to fight extremists wherever they are.

In a separate statement on the same day, Obama had expressed sorrow for the victims of the attacks and said the militants who staged the assault would not defeat India's "great democracy" or the global coalition arrayed against them.

"The United States must stand with India and all nations and people who are committed to destroying terrorist networks, and defeating their hate-filled ideology," the President-elect had said.

Did you know that there is a system in our constitution, as per the 1969 act, in section ``49-O`` that a person can go to the polling
Booth, confirm his identity, get his finger marked and convey the Presiding election officer that he doesn`t want to vote anyone!

Yes such a feature is available, but obviously these seemingly Notorious leaders have never disclosed it This is called ``49-O``

Why should you go and say ``I VOTE NOBODY`` Because, in a ward, if a Candidate wins, say by 123 votes, and that particular ward has Received ``49-O`` votes more than 123, then that polling will be Cancelled and will have to be re-polled Not only that, but the Candidature of the contestants will be removed and they cannot
Contest the re-polling, since people had already expressed their Decision on them

This would bring fear into parties and hence look for genuine Candidates for their parties for election This would change the way,
Of our whole political system d It is seemingly surprising why the Election commission has not revealed such a feature to the public

Please spread this news to as many as you know Seems to be a Wonderful weapon against corrupt parties in India Show your power, Expressing your desire not to vote for anybody, is more powerful Than voting So don`t miss your chance

So either vote, or vote not to vote (vote 49-O) and pass this Information

It is not the question of defeating India but for the day when the government wakes up and says that ``THEY ARE NO MORE INTERESTED IN COUNTING THE BODY BAGS, SOMETHING DRAMATIC NEEDS TO BE DONE TO STOP THIS BLOODSHED`` There has been lot of condolences from the world over for so many years but we have been still counting the dead and waiting for more WE need to draw a boundry line and say ``THATS ENOUGH`` I am eagerly waiting for that day when our Government will ``WAKEUP``

It is a shame that these terrorists are breeded in our neighbour country In the wake of what has happenend in Mumbai, as a true Indian we should never forget this disgraceul act and make sure that the people we have elected to run our beloved nation take a stern step in resolving this problem once and for all To be even more specific I would appeal to the Indian government on behalf of all INDIANS, to ensure that if Pakistan does not hand over the terrorist responsible for such heinous act, that WAR would be the only option we would exercise
