[This is in response to a blogger who blamed the parents for the Nithari killings.]
You are somewhat heartless. How can any parent wish ill for their children? The parents did complain to the police, who refused to entertain them. Or maybe the police kept giving them hope that they would return. These poor people did not have access to politicians because they did not have votes. And they had other children to feed, so they could not leave their daily wage jobs and organize long drawn protests. The whole story is not out yet. I am sure the parents were given false assurances by middle-men who lied to them very cunningly. Whatever, let us grieve with the parents and for the parents. They are the victims. And let us do our bit to ensure that all the villains are given no less than the noose, with no one, howsoever remotely connected with the killings, shown any leniency.
