Just days after one of the most deadly terrorist attack in India's history, politicians are back to their usual self. Blaming the opposite party for being responsible for terrorist attacks.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"I have heard that BJP leader Gopinath Munde has demanded for my resignation following the multiple Terror attacks in Mumbai," Patil told media persons.
He further said that when Akshardham was attacked, the Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi did not resign and when the Parliament was attacked the then Union Home Minister L K Advani did not resign.
"Then why should I resign after the Mumbai attack? What morality is BJP talking about?" Patil questioned.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Patil here is Maharashtra Home Minister RR Patil. Just for information, a Home Minister is responsible for the internal administration of the country/state, and for the law and order situation in the country/state.
Going by this definition and since the terrorist attacks in Mumbai happened under the watch of RR Patil and not Narendra Modi or LK Advani, as Home Minister, the responsibility lies with you Mr Patil not with Narendra Modi or LK Advani. That's were the buck stops.
Should RR Patil take moral responsibility for the Mumbai blasts and resign from his office. Or should he be forced out of his office for saying "Such small incidents happen in big cities. The terrorists had come to kill 5000 people, but we ensured minimum damage"?
I wonder, and I do not want to wish this on any one, what would have been RR Patil's response be if one of the people killed would have been his loved one. Would he still consider that to be minimum damage?
