Home Ministry? Are you joking?

I just saw this link http://www.indianexpress.com/news/Patil-goof-up--TV-cameras--compromise--rescue/391573 a while back and realized for sure that Shivraj Patil is in the wrong place. He has no business handling home ministrty and we are only doing the terrorists a HUGE favour by letting him continue in office.

Apart from making the painfully repetitive un-inspiring spineless statements and robotic promises he has not done anything at all except appear to 'call high crisis meetings' and other such hogwash. The real battle is being fought out by the commandos, the ministers can't do a thing about it now, we all know where the terrorists are and what is being done to secure the city; so what exactly is an incapable waste of space doing in the Home Minister's chair? I hope he goes back to Delhi and stops being such a burden, all he has done in this crisis is to "rush to mumbai", and in the process use up extra police and army protection for himself when we need all those personnel to protect our own people!

In addition to this waste of time and space, he's also gone and announced the "secret" timings of the NSG's departure from Delhi to Mumbai to handle the situation, and bawled out everything to the media, and subsequently the world. It would be unpardonably childish to assume that the terrorists inside the hotel wouldn't have heard it too, they're a handful of incredibly trained murderers who have held off the Indian Army, the ATS, the National Security Guard troops AND the Marine Commandos, the best in the country for nearly 3 whole days. I'm sure with their satellite phones and other such they'd come to know exactly what India is doing to hit them!

What is the point of a "surprise attack" if the highest authority of internal security goes on air and blurts out critical information as if to try and redeem his incapability? If you have any shame left, Mr Home Minister please, oh please do the country a favour and quit the post. You can't handle this one bit. We the people have more faith in the army and the national guard than we can ever have in you or your "promises".
