the govt needs to google more!!

Imagine this.. a hard core terrorist butchers 40 people ruthlessly, creates terror of such magnitude that it results in the exodus of pandits from the valley of Kashmir. Media his interviews where he accepts this on camera, without any trace of fear or remorse whatsoever.. and our central govt. claims not to have ANY information on him!! its so totally bewildering n shocking.. how irresponsible is dat??

Farooq Ahmad Dar alias Bitta Karatay was released on bail after being arrested in 1990 and after 16 years of custody, Bitta Karatay, the dreaded militant of the Jammu and Kashmir Liberation Front (JKLF) is back to haunt kashmir again.. he must be having a real laugh, dat man..in the interview he gave to a journalist from india today, he himself said he might be hanged or given a life imprisonment. and now, inexplicably, he is released after 16 yrs and returns to kashmir where he's being hailed as a hero!!

this happened last year..the reason it came to limelight now, is that an 18 yr old kashmiri pandit, whose relatives had been killed by bitta, and who was baffled by his release, filed an ROI (right to information) application trying to know what had caused the govt to take such an inexplicable decision. and understandably, he was more than shocked when he got a blunt reply from d govt saying they had no information at all abt him!!!! no information?? google gave me 626 results in 0.08 seconds! but of course, no one knows why he's been released though!

well, what's d use of having a 'right to information' if the govt has empty databases??
