I think the ones who are obviously responsible are cowards and are a disgrace to their Nation. All they care is about their status and power how they are viewed by other people. If they are religious people or follow a religion they will know love is to love one another and bring peace, not to show off wealth and rank.
I am currently in High School and will study Forensic Science in University so that when I do become a CSI I can put away people like that where they rightfully belong. I pray and hope this case does not continue when I start my career.

Don’t you think that 147 calls (if Telus records are correct) from "Uncle" Surjit Badesha’s residence to the men in India who were found responsible for Jassi’s brutal murder are just a wee bit fishy?? Come on Canada, it’s time for some justice to be granted here.

The RCMP should start explaining to the Canadian public why Jassi’s mother and
uncle are still roaming the streets of BC, without charges being laid, after what appears to be strong prima facie evidence of culpability in first degree murder.

I come from a European family and could not imagine my parents doing something like this. Though tradition is something that goes from generation to generation and we must respect them, we come to Canada to better ourselves and our families. Not only is it new for the children to adjust to a different lifestyle but also for the adults. Many traditions must change. Immigrants must not forget who they are but must also remember why they are here.

The RCMP are a disgrace to Canadian Police. This young, innocent, helpless young girl was killed because of her love for a man. Her parents and Uncle are a disgrace to the Indo-Canadian community and are pathetic human beings. There should be absolutely no reason to ever kill your daughter for ANY crime. The RCMP are investigating other cases like car accidents, drug abuse etc. Why don’t you take some time and consider this investigation. If it was one of your family members who had been murdered this investigation would have been over years ago. Put yourself in Jassi’s place.....

As a Canadian citizen, Jassi deserves all the resources necessary to bring her murderers to trial. All murderers should be in jail for the crimes committed and not going about their everyday life like nothing has happened. I believe Jassi’s tortured soul will not rest in peace until this crime has been solved!

If anyone is getting in the way of this investigation - it’s Canada’s Indo-Canadian, i.e. Sikh community. Everyone here is crying outrage and shock - yet many of you come from the exact community responsible for these types of actions and the community responsible for making it difficult for the RCMP to act. Look in the mirror if you want to see the face of injustice. of this investigation - it’s Canada’s Indo-Canadian, i.e. Sikh community.

Everyone has the right to make their own decisions. Our Indian parents think that their words are law so they don’t listen to their children.
Jassi didn’t do anything wrong. She was in love with that man so she married him.
The Canadian government must sentence Jassi’s mother and uncle so that learning from that no parent would ever dare do this to their children. Kiran Ghuman, Student NewYork |

Jassi’s love story has just erupted the conflicts of two generations living in western countries. On one hand, the instilled thinking of "family honor", and on the other, the younger generation who needs respect, honesty and trust to validate their actions... Therefore open communication both ways, as well as understanding would be really beneficial in the growing years of the child.

As we sit here, nod our heads and continue living our lives, justice does not get served. As years go on, the level of safety I feel living in Canada has significantly decreased. Aside from that issue, here is a family that has obviously murdered their daughter and our legal system is still waiting for what? When will the Canadian government realize that by funding religious institutions they are only creating more of a segregration line between various faiths because the institutions tend to be led by extremists of the faith.
That doesn’t help anyone, and in this case it did not help Jassi. If people were to be fearful of their concequences, perhaps such attrocities would not occur Nieha K, Business Student, Human Rights Activist Brampton, Ontario |

It is not very common in India for a couple to marry across the rich and poor divide.
Hence, this documentary should not be taken as something typical of India. Love affairs of this sort are not common.
But the cold blooded behaviour of parents is also not unheard of. Few years back, a high temporal authority in Punjab, India was accused of getting her daughter murdered. Allegedly the girl dared to go against her wishes and marry the guy whom they did not approve of. Gagan, IT professional, Toronto |

One of the beautiful things about Canada is our diverse population...however, when you become Canadian you take on and are entitled to all the rights and freedoms of being Canadian. That includes choosing who you wish to marry.
I feel deeply for this slain woman’s husband and believe that the Canadian Government should let him come to Canada...has he not suffered enough? I am one Canadian who feels the parents now have no right to stay in Canada. Leanne Davis, Manager, Ontario |

I think we should give the RCMP a little more credit. This case has a lot of issues here for the RCMP to consider and to sort out.
For CBC to air Murder Unveiled is reason enough to believe that Canadians are taking this matter very seriously. Vimal T. John, Risk Manager, Edmonton |

It’s time that Asian parents started treating their children like they were a gift from God, rather than using them as pawns to make the best deal, so it will would make them look good? We are your children - not your cattle. We are your daughters and not guests that have overstayed our welcome. Isn’t it better that your children love and trust you than fear you? And yes, the Canadian government should definitely get on with putting these heartless, selfish murderers away. She was a Canadian citizen and she deserves justice.

As if the RCMP’s bungling of the Air India investigation was not enough, why did it take the RCMP several months to figure out that they do indeed have a case for investigating Jassi’s mother and uncle?
And why is the investigation taking more than 5 years? Don’t 140 phone calls from Jassi’s uncle to the (now convicted) perpetrators of the murder have any significance? The more important question is - what message will this send to conspirators of crimes that are perpetrated on our citizens outside our borders? That they can go about their business as they please, because the law won’t stop them? MN Chetan, Software Engineer, Burnaby, B.C. |

The RCMP’s incompetence resembles CSIS’ failures in the Air India bombing cases. My question for the Canadian government is that if a Caucasian Canadian citizen was murdered outside of the borders, would extradition be allowed then?
It’s interesting to note that Ripudaman Singh Malik, one of the now aquitted suspects in the Air India case, was a millionaire in British Columbia. Also, Jassi’s uncle in the same province shares comparable wealth and is able to evade true justice. Is this case really about discrimination? Power and money? Or just neglegence. I’d really like to know. Aman Singh Virdy, Computer Science Student, London, Ontario |

I can’t imagine how I would feel being Cynthia Ching’s parent. I hope and pray that there will be a timely resolution to this terrible incident to at least give peace to the grieving relatives. We cannot bring Cynthia back but can certainly change things to ensure that this type of thing does not happen again.
If I were in Rafael Ching’s position I would be very happy knowing that other are very concerned about this incident and we must all pull together for a satifactory resolution. Cynthia did not die in vain... but to let all of us know there are some very serious problems to be overcome and dealt with when you are travelling to other countries. Jean Bentham

The current situation in the Middle East is being taken advantage of by the many despotic leaders found in that region. They certainly are making a mountain out of a molehill. Incidentally, the Muslims from Asia are also offended but have not been rioting to show their discontent. I agree that the newspapers were wrong to publish such things about Muhammed, but this is still their inalienable right - the freedom of the press. I still think that the Muslim leaders in the Middle East are capitalizing on a minor issue like this. To ask for an apology from the European newspapers would be tantamount to trying to squash someone else’s freedom of expression. Aaron Cheong,
Vancouver Islam, like most religions, is a beautiful foundation for ones life. It is unfortunate that some people choose to use their leader’s name for acts of violence. All of this debate over the Danish cartoon is missing the point: there are many Muslims out there who are defaming the good name of Mohammed everyday by suicide bombings and other atrocities. That is the real blasphemy. The outrage over the cartoon would be better directed towards those who are truly ruining Mohammed’s name.

How do you account for the Japanese to be competent in Information Technology when they are not proficient in English Language? The issue of unemployed graduates in Malaysia is not an economic issue but a political one. Malaysians need to look at their southern neighbour (Singpore) with its lack of natural resources and land area. Yet is has came up from third world status to first within a short period after separating from Malaysia in 1965. The Republic of Singapore is better off for having seperated, without a doubt. Malaysia should be ashamed of itself for having a huge land area, long coastal lines, rich natural resources but for yet not being able to create enough jobs for their graduates. This is actually a sheer case of mismanagement of human capital of the real kind! Ismail Aby Jamal, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia |
