I agree to the fact that Mrs heptullahs logic of asking Men to commit "Sati" as well
is not the correct way of addressing the issue..after all, two wrongs do not make a 
right..
but, it is a "National Shame" in the sense that there exist people amongst us who do not 
see anything wrong with it but in fact aid and abet such an act.....It is shameful that 
even in this day and age where at one level.. we are all proud of the progress that we, 
as a nation have made, in all fields and walks of life... but at such a basic humanitarian 
as well as educational level, our own people can be so ignorant , so blind... 
All of us... who sit here and boast and brag ( rightfully, most times ) about our nations exploits 
should also be equally ashamed at such an event...

I am sad and ashamed at this version of Hidnuism.

It is reported boxed in front page on Hindustan Times also. More details
are:

It happened in Tamoli Panna village, 70 KM from Panna district
headquarter (UP-MP border) near Jabalpur.

That is dirty logic of Mrs Najma Heptulaah. If men also start doing it,
that will not justify that doing it with women is correct. Both are
wrong.

> It is a national shame

IT IS NOT A NATIONAL SHAME, MRS "SICK" HEPTULLAH.
Nation has made laws to prevent it and such laws are being successfully
enforced. In this case also, kudos to the policemen, that they reached
in time and even attempted to stop this thing before she was burnt,
facing the wrath of 1000 strong village people. The name of one of them
is Sub Inspector Harcharan Singh Ghosh. He had even caught hold of the
lady and had pulled her out of the pyre just lit from one corner, but
villagers overpowered him and thrown her back to the pyre.

It might also be noted that the information reached the police
station which is 8 km away from the village, and they did reach there.
Kudos to the aware villagers who informed the police.

The case has been registered against one Jainarayan Pathak and others
under sections 307, 332 and 147 of IPC.
