![]() Home minister Shivraj Patil quits, Chidambaram to take over
NEW DELHI: Home minister Shivraj Patil, under tremendous criticism over a spate of terrorist attacks in the country since last year, has resigned in Home minister Shivraj Patil gestures as he addresses mediapersons after a cabinet meeting with Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in New Delhi on Thursday. (AFP Photo) the wake of the Mumbai terror strikes. Patil has said that he felt obliged to take "moral responsibility" for the brutal attacks in Mumbai, an official government source said. Finance minister P Chidambaram will take over as the new home minister and the finance ministry will now be under the direct charge of Prime Minister Manmohan Singh. The CWC, which met here on Saturday night, gave the marching orders to Shivraj Patil. There was unanimity in the CWC that the political face of the government can be saved only with a drastic overhaul. Chidambaram, who had an earlier stint in the internal security department, was the obvious choice to succeed Patil and the PM's charge of the economy is expected to bolster confidence in the country's economic management. The massive collateral damage of the commando operation at Taj, Trident and Nariman House is being blamed on the delay and inadequacy of the response of the MHA in pressing the NSG into service. Patil, who had offered to step down at the Congress Working Committee (CWC) meeting on Saturday night, sent his resignation to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Sunday morning, sources said. The 74-year-old Patil was inducted into the Union Cabinet despite his defeat from Latur in Maharashtra in the 2004 Lok Sabha polls. He has been a target of the opposition as also the detractors within the party over his handling of the internal security situation in the country.

P. Chidambaram is ok but I personally prefer Pranav Mukharjee as home minister.

Re: Home minister Shivraj Patil quits, Chidambaram to take over
Shivraj Patil "Offered " to resign
![]() Rather he was kicked out to save face before Delhi and other states go for the major polling rounds ![]() This is just hogwash and definitely not enough . When there was 9/11 in US , US enacted new laws , proactively hunted down terror cells,beefed up airport and other land transport security and created a new Department of Homeland Security to coordinate internal security agencies .Result is not even one casualty due to terrorism on American soil in last 7 years despite being no.1 terrorist target . ![]() Unless and until we in India treat this as war and take similar actions an don't punish incompetency of govt. by voting on caste and votebank basis , we will keep having blasts every month and suffer enormously ![]()

Re: Home minister Shivraj Patil quits, Chidambaram to take over
Is that it? Problem solved? Is there no shame left among politicians or Congress party? Shouldn't Mohan Singh resign as well? His team has brought death and destruction to people of India. Why not have fresh elections?
Patil was not elected? You mean anyone can become a minister in India? So why do they hold elections? How about Mohan Singh? Was he elected or Talian begum just placed him on the chair? ![]()

Re: Home minister Shivraj Patil quits, Chidambaram to take over
After successfully handling the economy and bringing it to it's current glory. P.Chidambaram will take up this job and be as successful too in the new role. He's a performer and he will perform again, so what if economics and homeland security are such diverse areas of governance. India too has shown unity in diversity. However, I would have preferred if a Muslim would have been given a chance to be home minister. There are too fe Muslims in India's police forces,Military and ministries.

Re: Home minister Shivraj Patil quits, Chidambaram to take over
About people blaming politicians only and not terrorist - in our democracy people know that elected represebntatives weild all power and yet they do nothing towards commongood of the people and national security. Terrorists with all sorts of causes for jeehad can easily target us but our poliitical system does not care, so the rage is towards politicians only.
As for Patil resigning, at least it seems that he has shown some decency and offered to resign. Now he might have been kicked ouy. But a resignation drama looks good and absolves the Congress on moral grounds. Now sycophant media will make a martyr out of Patil. Tantuji no politician has any shame. A few days will pass. We will hear all kinds of reports and then nothing. I would like Chidambaram, if he is honest to hios job, to announce narco tests on the captured terrorist. If Sadhvi Pragya can be declared a terrorist with these wonderful tests then here we have a real terrorist in custody. Hope Congress shows same "unbiased" enthusiasm towards this investigation. |
