[edit] POV

I cannot understand how an article can be imbibed with so much POV as this one and still get nominated for a DYK. There have been views and counter-views over the Godhra carnage and Justice Banerjee's views have been criticized by a significant number of intellectuals. However, this article seems to depict only one side of the story. Besides, Ehsan Jafri is a no-body, his only major claim to notability being his death in the Gujarat riots. However, this article commemorates his "legacy" containing a seperate section on his "Literary contributions".-Ravichandar 04:19, 13 April 2008 (UTC)

To call a member of parliament a nobody is a claim that shows what POV guides this comment. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 203.199.147.5 (talk) 13:04, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

    • Have a look at this-13th Lok Sabha and tell me how many MPs from the 13th Lok Sabha (leave alone even 6th Lok Sabha) have articles of their own. I haven't said he is non-notable in the general context. He is notable only for being a member of the 6th Lok Sabha and his controversial death in the Gujarat riots. However, I find this article imbibed with so much POV making him a sort-of-martyr. Notes on his poetry etc. makes this article look like a memorial -RavichandarMy coffee shop 11:15, 18 April 2008 (UTC)

It does not matter whether the guy is a martyr or a no-body -- what bothers me is that a member of parliament could not get the police help - inspite of him making calls even upto sonia gandhi. 2) It does not matter whether the guy is somebody -- i am sure i dont want to be in his position even if i am a dog -- to be burnt alive -- knowing the death is coming so cruelly - not sure what was going in his mind. I was in Delhi in '84- watched the Gurudwara's burnt -- and the killings. Cannot believe this happened in '02 and the people who did this went scott free. Congress wont press for charges as they have skeletons in their cupboard -- so for now it is cong -1 bjp-1 -- score even. Hopefully now the people can get civilized and see this wont repeat. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.103.56.231 (talk) 05:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)

  • No different from most articles except in covering the manner of his death, which was notable. Removed tag as discussion is stale. --Relata refero (disp.) 13:41, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
