After Patil

nothing for people of India by HK on 2008-12-02 03:12:29.725527+05:30
All this regisnation drama is happening because some westeners are also killed in this attack. Otherwise govt might have taken steps long back whne Delhi happened, when assam happened. Guptaji, since Patil and Maharastra govt is gone I feel so safe! These people are being sacrificed to hide enability of this govt who do not want to deal tough with anything.

Negligence and punishment to ministers by Chandrakant Marathe on 2008-12-02 01:38:33.459866+05:30
This is a fit Public Interest Litigation (PIL) case against PM, CM and two home ministers for killing 200 innocent people because of their negligence. Can some one file a charge in the supreme court??

News editors and TV anchormen's shold resign by M Patel on 2008-12-02 00:01:08.13343+05:30
Should not fourth estate also be held accountable for their failure to highlight the gravity of terror threat and unfarily demonising anti-terror efforts in some cases?I think the editors and columinist who directly and indirectly committed 'non-violent treason via pen' should also introspect and resign.

Who's next? by vivek panday on 2008-12-01 21:20:07.436402+05:30
Shekhar,Do you see any leader which can lead India in 21st century? Who has the vision and will to see us through? I do not see anyone capable on the current bench of leaders who has the ability to fight back. The new generation of leaders including Rahul Gandhi has offered nothing to the country. He has only spoken a dew times in the parliament. He has not raised any pressing issue nor fought for any cause. I think the future is bleak and these attacks will continue to happen.

it just goes to show that we are a headless bunch without a leader who can be said to follow in the steps of the great leaders like nehru or gandhi or indira gandhi. the responsibility for the security of the country and its people directly rests on the PM and his ministers . if the security has been breached then the PM must answer the people who have elected him . He should own the moral failure to protect the life and propperty of all the people of India as enshrined in the constitution. You cannot play the diversionary card of saying that the things were worse in the NDA regime. Two wrongs do not make a right.Enogh is enough the people deserve an answer.

Afraid to Call A Spade, A Spade? by Anon on 2008-12-01 16:40:14.938053+05:30
"General election... divisive politics"....., there lies the crux! Who is being politically correct? Whose policies are divisive? Who is importing Bangladeshis? Who was against a sound legal framework to fight terror all these years? Who asked the Policies officals to go slow in the Mumbai train blasts case? So....., Mr. Editor, who is divisive? If, even now, we shy away from calling a Spade, a Spade, we will have to suffer many more losses!

BJP's repeatedly claim after every terror attack that Patil must go. So he has gone.Good that the new nominee is from UPA and not from BJP.

So, Mr Gupta, you should be happy that with resignation of some politician, India security is back to normalicy. It is a dead country which elects a foreigner to its parliament and no matter how many resigns or killed by terrorists, it will remain dead. See how a foreigner decides the fate of some ministers. MMS has made this country a laughuing stock.

THAT INDIA IS A COUNTRY RUN BY PEOPLE WHO HAVE NO INTEREST IN GOVERNANCE. THAT THE INTERNAL SECURITY IS LAX IS EVIDENT IN OUR DAILY LIFE. THE PM MUST PUT THE SUPER CLERKS IN CABINET SECRETARIAT AND HOME MINISTRY TO SWEAT IT OUT THIS WINTER AND PUT INTELLIGENCE GATHERING ON TOP GEAR. MEDIA INSTEAD OF BASHING THE POLITICAL CLASS MUST FOLLOW UP WITH THE BABU CLASS IN GOVT. OF INDIA.

PATIL'S DRAMA by SANJIV on 2008-12-01 09:21:39.164315+05:30
IF MMS TOOK THE 'RIGHT' STEP OF CALLING ALL APRTY MEET, LKA HAS TAKEN THE RIGHT STEPOF NOT ATTENDING IT. FOR 3-4 YEARS BJP HAS CONSISTANTLY MAINTAINED THE CHARGE OF 'SOFT ON TERROR' WHICH HAS BEEN PROVEN RIGHT TIME AND AGAIN. ACCEPTING RESIGNATION OF PATIL ON 'MORAL' GROUNDS AND 'NOT SACKING HIM' IS TOO LITTLE TOO LATE. HE HAD TO GO NOT BECAUSE PM LOST HIS CONFIDENCE IN HIM BUT BECAUSE AFTER REFUSING TO SEE THE LIGHT MADAM SONIA FELT THE HEAT. WHO RUNS THS GOVERNMENT? MMS OR SINIA/RAHUL. IT'S HIGH TIME MMS EXPLAINS HIS EXACT ROLE. THE HARVAD EDUCATED LAWYER WHO ALLOWED THE FINANCIAL DISASTER IS NOR BROUGHT TO RULE OVER NON EXISTANT SECURITY APPARTUS. IS HE GOING TO USE LAW BOOKS AS WEAPONS AND CII/CEI CONVENTIONS AS BATTLE GROUND. AT BEST HE IS A STAFF FUNCTIONARY WHO CAN PRIOCASTRINATE AND ADVISE. THE INTERNAL SECURITY APPARTUS IS HEADLESS, DIRECTIONLESS, DEMOTIVATED, STUNNED AND DAZED BY AUDACITY OF ATTACK. 75 YEARS OLD NSA AND A LAWYER CARRYING INTELLECTUAL 'AURA' ARE USELESS.

This is time to be united and rise above petty politics at all levels. Mumbai's, being famed resiliant city as always will rise again but every person in Mumbai is deeply hurt the way the entire episode is being handled by State and Central government, media. There is clear lack of Sense and there is more of Sensationality in all the channels in Media which needs to be contained. The often Bite grabber Politicians are absent to support and console the people. Unfortunately it includes UPA chief and President of India. The ultimate result being the common man is getting alienated from the ruling class and social divide then becomes eminent which is wors than the terrorist attack. It is time to get our act together be it on Political, Executive, Judicial and Media side and act in swiftness. Else these events will continue at regular interval bringing the image of the country and confidence of people down.
