Patil wanted intercourse with terrorists!!
Bangalore, Dec 1: Here are some statements made by our Ex-Home Minister, Shivraj Patil during his tenure.
PS:
Read
at
your
own
risk
as
they
are
highly
hilarious.
The
first
goof
up
of
Shivraj
Patil
was
when
he
took
charge
as
the
Home
Minister.
He
said,
"We
are
ready
for
a
meaningful
intercourse
with
the
terrorists."
Comparing
Sarbjith
Singh,
an
Indian
on
the
death
row
in
Pakistan
who
New
Delhi
claims
is
a
case
of
mistaken
identity,
with
that
of
Mohammad
Afzal,
the
Kashmiri
terrorist
convicted
in
Parliament
attack
case.he
said,
"You
want
Afzal
Guru
to
be
hanged.
(At
the
same
time)
you
are
saying
that
don't
hang
a
person
who
has
gone
to
Pakistan
(Singh)....These
people
(the
BJP)
want
others
to
be
hanged.
What
are
you
doing?
You
are
saying
don't
hang
that
person
(Singh)
and
you
say
hang
this
person
(Guru)
here".
The goof ups didnot end here. Heres one more, "There are bits of information available with us (about the designs of terrorists)...what we do not have is the time and place of the attack." Mr Patil in the wake of twin Hyderabad blasts in Aug 2007.
"The terrorists are trying to spread fear and terror among people across the country through their evil designs. We will not allow them to succeed in it." Mr Patil soon after the Sep 13 blasts in Delhi, which were followed by the Assam blasts on Oct 30.
"I will resign only when the Congress President Sonia Gandhi tells me to go." Mr Patil reacting to the Opposition's demand for his papers soon after the Delhi blasts.
"Naxalism in India is presented by some in a manner which does not give the correct picture. On occasions, it is said that 10 states in India, nearly 180 districts, are affected. It means that one-third of the country is affected. If one village in a district is affected, it is treated that one district is affected. If one or two districts of a state are affected, it does not mean that all districts in the state are affected."Mr Patil in his address to the annual DGP meet in November 2008...a day after, prime minister termed Naxalism the country's biggest security challenge. Looks like Mr Patil is confused with the term 'Naxalism'.
"The Government is not interested in using weapons. They (the Naxalites) are our brothers and sisters and we know that this is a socio-economic problem rather than one of law and order. We can solve these problems through dialogue and discussions." Mr Patil in April 2005. When criticised during a discussion in the Rajya Sabha for sympathising with Red terror, he said there was "nothing wrong in calling those born in India as our brothers and sisters."
"Main so gaya, main patte khel raha hoon, main daru peeke baitha hoon, main dance club jaata hoon toh aap mujhe dosh dijiye (Blame me if I am sleeping (on the job), playing cards, drinking and whiling away time and frequenting dance clubs)." Mr Patil irritated at criticism after he was seen in three different suits on the day of the Delhi serial blasts in Sep.
"Before I could reach there, the terrorists who had attacked one of the hospitals, the Cama Hospital, had left and those who attacked the railway station had also left." Mr Patil, soon after visiting the Mumbai attack sites.
