Payment not the issueBy: Gauri Ghatnekar | Wednesday , 3 Dec '08 18:47:19 PM Reply | Forward Dear editor, PC will do a great job as a home minister. i firmly feel this. he did a terrific job of introducing economic reforms to the urban poor and therefore i feel that he has a real gift for managing home affairs too. a real revolution is needed in order to evolve our country successfully in the direction of growth and employment. we need men who are capable of handling vast amounts of data and cash successfully. there must be equitable distribution of wealth, and correspondingly power. power must be used wisely by all, and pc with his programmes has successfully exhibited this. his disinclination was seen by all

Look the smile of this rajaBy: KR | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 1:23:19 AM Reply | Forward What a shame that we have such politicians. Just look at his smiling face in this moment of terror unleashed on India. Any seriousness? Any tough posture? On top of that he claims he was disinclined. Minority appeasing, PAK licking, spinless, shameless individuals. As somebody said this is the last straw that breaks the camels back. UPA must be burried deep.

STOP Bashing PoliticiansBy: Nathan | Tuesday , 2 Dec '08 1:12:47 AM Reply | Forward Politicians just represent Indians, Indians should stop moaning and accept that such changes do not really change anything. It could be this disinclined man or those who have commented below the end result will be same as Indians lack integrity and honesty. They do not appreciate quality and a spineless race which can only moan and complain. Indians should forget independence and ask request the British Queen to look after them.

New Home MinisterBy: K.V. Raman | Monday , 1 Dec '08 23:04:50 PM Reply | Forward Chidambaram was useless as Finance Minister and I don't think he is going to set Thames on fire as Home minister.Why we can't appoint a retired four star General like Ge. Padmanabhan or J.J. Singh or N.C. Vij as Home Minister.What we need is dynamic leadership at the Home Ministry who is capable of organizing our intelligence network. All the appointments to the heads of intelligence agencies such as CBI, RAW and IB are based on political connections and not merit. How can these buffoons take care of the security of this country? We have to fix the corruption starting from the Ministers to Judges to the lowest level police constable if we have the real intention to save this country from terrorist attacks.

Reluctant Home Minister...By: Dr.Ajay Kumar, England | Monday , 1 Dec '08 22:07:01 PM Reply | Forward In this hour of national crisis, a man is reluctant to assume all important Home portfolio. God save India and Indians.

ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS-A POTENTIAL THREATBy: Lal Narang | Monday , 1 Dec '08 22:01:27 PM Reply | Forward Time has come to tackle the issue of illegal migrants from our neighbouring countries.Mainly from Bangladesh. Over last two decades the central and state governments have closed their eyes this grave threat. In fact some of the corrupt and power hungry politicians have gone out to create a vote bank of them by providing them the legal status by issuing 'valid, ration cards and other documents. The gross corruption in various Central and State Government Departments has played havoc with the security of the nation besides increase in crime levels and communal tensions.These officilas are worse than the terrorists that this country if fighting today. The priority of the incumbent home minister is to deal with this menace as severely as any act of terrists and all responsible Officials be punished under anti-national crime. But it is easier said than done. Hope a public opinion is created to force the Government to take stern action.

PC-callof dutyBy: Lal Narang | Monday , 1 Dec '08 21:43:42 PM Reply | Forward sir, we dont need a reluctant man in charge at this time of crisis. You are a very good person and also very capable and reliable and we welcome you but please shed away the reluctance and get a grip on this grim situation. Please also ensure that the gallant officers serving the country are not sacrificed by our own corrupt and vilgar officials. It is reported that we lost atleast three of our heroes M's Karkare,Amte and Salaskar because they were supplied with inferior bullet-proof jackets. The reponsible Officers for such grave misconduct areworse than the terrorist and should be dealt with under the same law as terrorists. Sir our own saviours areour own destroyers and you must deal witjh such elemnts as well with same zeal as you deal with foreign elements.Further over the years the illegal migrants from Bangladesh have risen to more than million. No effective steps have been taken to deal with this threat which drains our national resorces and compromise safety of the nation.

New home ministerBy: Mukesh patel | Monday , 1 Dec '08 21:08:08 PM Reply | Forward Instead of appointing PC someone having firm background on security situation along with a political touch should be handed over the job of home ministry as PC was doing his job excellently in finance ministry only because of his background.I doubt his knowledge will help the home ministry.
