    Briefing the Union cabinet after the Ahmedabad blasts, Shivraj Patil argued the “need to strengthen existing intelligence gathering apparatus at both state and Central level with utmost vigilance that needed to be maintained for the safety and security of the citizens.” The time has come for both the government and the public to take the debate forward on ways and means to operationalise new internal security mechanisms. With India’s major cities being bombed at will by terrorists, the government’s response has to radically change.

    Merely changing clothes, Minister Patil, does not help.

    terrorBy: rammohan | 16-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward Minority appesement politics is the main problem. The law of the land had punished this HM had forwarded for clememncy to the president. The president will not review it at all for the next many years. Spineless HM and spineless PM and the Chair person gets letter from Papa for distroying the followers of hindu faith. secular bigade goes to all terrorist families with cheques and money to support them too. we need more Narendra Mody's i every state, who can deal terrorism with iron hands.
    Iron Hand or Hindu HandBy: Hey Ram | 18-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward Yes and we need the iron hand in Orissa and Karnataka too to deal with Hindu terrorism there.
    Politics of IndiaBy: Politically Incorrect | 16-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward We should not really be surprised with the conduct of the 'secular' partymen. They, by fundamental and definition, will stand for the accused in terror attacks in the name of minority protection. After all, how can one forget the conduct of Vasant Davkhare, the NCP Deputy Chairperson of the Legislative Council of Maharashtra, who visited the family of Ishrat Jehan, the L-e-T commander killed by Gujarat police, with a cheque of Rs. 2 lakhs as "compensation". Compensation-that also to the family of a terrorist-IT HAPPENS ONLY IN INDIA!!!!
    Well...we elected themBy: Rohit | 16-Sep-2008 Reply | Forward We elected them (cong/upa) and we are facing the consequences of it. Hats off to all those secularists who think cong is still the good old secular party it started out as. After independence this party single-handledly divided the country on lines of religion, language, caste, etc. It has single-handedly destroyed the secular fabric of this country. Yet I wonder why secular people don't see it.
