A.K Antony just lamentsBy: Devi Prasad Chowdry | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:56:16 PM Reply | Forward So much yap yap about threat from the seas and no body could prevent Mumbai tragedy. It was evil fighting Mother India. Now, talk about air attack! Honourable minister is giving directions to accomplished and potential terrorists. Let us rebuild Mumbai for better.
Be warned!By: khuda ka banda | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:55:16 PM Reply | Forward Unfortunately, I cant help but laugh at the sheer stupidity of this statement. This is nothing but scoring brownie points. Terrorists have already used land and sea routes so it would be prudent for the minister to declare the air route as sensitive, if it does not happen then he takes the credit that his warning was heeded and prevented an attack and if it does he still takes credit because "I told you so". The services cater for all options, just because there are a few who get by the land route or the sea route does not mean people are not aware, they pretty well are and should be but where the government can play its part is to provide the equipment and where withall necessary to fight this scourge and not sit on their bottoms taking no decisions during their own tenures unless ogfcourse the requirement comes with an opportunity to grease palms.

Defence Minister's warningBy: ramesh kumar | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 20:24:06 PM Reply | Forward This is another one to follow Shivraj Patil. Hopeless one. Nevertheless he will find his natural end after the general elections!
Minister's WarningBy: Nair | Thursday , 4 Dec '08 10:19:07 AM Reply | Forward Comparing Anony to Patil is not fair; he just moved into the job recently. Patil has Comparing Antony, who is an elected representative, and relatively new to the ministry to Patil or Mukherjee; who are wielding power even though they have lost elections is unfair. Patil has been peddling inefficiency for some time now. Give the guy some time before passing judgement. Interestingly, I read a comment from Mukherjee about the breach of security. Seems like he is still peeved at losing his former job. He should go for retirement.
Defence Minister's warningBy: Dr. S. Surya Prakash | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 22:09:06 PM Reply | Forward Recently CAG has pointed out and the Defence Minister has confessed that IAF is using the outdated Radar Systems. Without giving the latest equipment it is on the verge insanity just to give a warning to our defence forces. This is political way of washing hands.
Air attackBy: Subroto Chattterjee | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 19:56:38 PM Reply | Forward If this is the case why not make mandatory to have a air marshall in all aircraft to and fro India? Just giving warning and getting your back covered should not be attitude.
