    As Home Minister, Shivraj Patil presided over one of the bloodiest periods in India's recent history.

    Unfortunately for him though, the Mumbai attacks just proved to be the last straw on the camel’s back. As Prime Minister Manmohan Singh remarked at the all-party meeting on Sunday that Mumbai attack was “different” from all the previous terrorist strikes.

    PatilBy: Balu Toronto | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Sonia Gandhi was the one who appointed this Patil for Home Ministry. He was handpicked and not an elected MP. Now Sonia is responsible for not having sacked him earlier!
    Shivraj patilBy: Chinnamasta | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Bhujbal was a close associate of Dawood Ibrahim the notorious gangster, now well protected by Pakistan and an anchor man for ISI. Further the role of print media and TV including CNN-IBN are to be probed for their sinister role and their underhand dealings in this entire murky episode. If necessary the Government must immediately arrest the Home Minister Shivaraj Patil and Chaggan Bujpal so that investigation agency will have the full freedom to act without any hiccup.
    Shivraj patilBy: Chinnamasta | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward If the Indian Government is really serious about terrorist activity, they must probe the role of two Ministers. Fist one is Shivraj Patil Union Home Minister of India, for his persistant inaction which has an inexplicable pattern. Either Patil is a victim of his pet notion of ideological conundrum of Muslim appeasement or may be being blackmailed by ISI for his murky past. The second one to be investigated is a shady character Chhagan Bhujbal, the public works minister of Maharashtra..It seems, Bhujbal was deliberate in his attempt to use Hemant Kurkure of ATS to go after their cracker savvy Hindu groups so that the real terrorists who arrived though sea will have a freeway without any hindrance. Bhujbal was either visiting or in constant touch with Hemant everyday for the past one month egging Hemant to go after Hindu Group and virtually prevented the Anti-Terrorism Squad to do their normal work.
    Shivaraj tenure of internal insecurityBy: A.S.Mathew | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward I do agree with Prof Loknath and expressed this feeling repeatedly. In India, ministersare elected, based on their political leverage, and sad to say that most of them don'thave the least knowledge about the portfolio they handle. The minister of educationmight have been a former farmer, and the minister of health may be a formerbus cleaner. That is the sad side of Indian political system, because in most cases;incompetent people are entrusted with highly responsible jobs.
    Home ministerBy: Prof Loknath | 01-Dec-2008 Reply | Forward Ministers in India resign when irreversible damage is done to country and people.The home minister should be an ex military officer[intelligence]or an ex top police official.The politicians simply donot know their subject,most of the times..How long should we wait to get competent ministers?
