Quick but important

Friends,

There are no quick solutions to this vexed problem of terrorism but it is clear that a rethink is needed at the highest level of government in India about how to respond to this menace. The performance of India's Home Minister, Shivraj Patil, responsible for India's internal security, has been beyond sub-par. We don't see any rationale for Mr. Patil to continue in this position after India's being repeatedly hit by terrorists from within and outside. He has been woefully slow in responding to the unrest in the North East and the recent disturbances in Kashmir just underscore a cluelessness of sorts. The Congress does have many other capable people to initiate the rethink.

At a time when the Indian nation is demanding action a renewed effort to combat terror a new leadership at the Home Ministry will satiate some of this urgent desire. We hope that Mr. Patil recognizes his failures and tenders his resignation while paving the way for a rededication to the most fundmental task of any government - its people's safety.

Peace.
