26/11 and Indian Politicians.

On anniversaries of tragedies like 26/11 attacks, people think of the victims and the grieving families left behind. May god be with them and bring peace to the departed souls and families left behind. This time I wanted to focus on the other parties involved namely the politicians involved in the tragedies. They were Central Home Minister Shivraj Patil, Maharashtra CM Vilasrao Deshmukh and his deputy CM R R Patil. Let us examine them one by one.

Shivraj Patil: This man’s incompetence was exposed many times before 26/11 but nothing happened to him. It was because of his proximity to the Gandhi Family. The only positive thing people said about him was that he dresses well!
After 26/11, the Family still tried to protect him but the public outcry was too much and Congress probably in the interest of the 2009 elections asked him to resign. Now in most countries a man like him would spend the rest of his days as a recluse, hiding in shame. But no in India, NO SIR! He was appointed Governor of Punjab and then, recently, Rajasthan. We all should be so lucky to get punished like that for our mistakes.

Vilasrao Deshmukh: Another dapper dresser, he was the CM then. OF course, in the interests of the national politics, he was asked to resign. How was he punished? Is he living in shame of any kind? The answer is no, again. He now is the Central Minister of Heavy Industries and Public Enterprises. WOW!!

R R Patil: He was the Maharashtra Deputy CM and does not dress well. He is known for he quotes in the aftermath of the tragedy. The two famous ones were:
1. "They (the terrorists) came to kill 5,000 people but we ensured minimal damage".
2. "It is not like that. In big cities like this, small incidents do happen. It's is not a total failure."

Now in most country they would have skewered the man and his political career would be over. Not in India. He was made to resign as the deputy CM but in a cruel irony, was later appointed Home Minister. HOME MINISTER!! Step back and think about it! IF that were not bad enough, this man was then caught on camera partying with known associates of Dawood Ibrahim (man who was behind the Mumbai blasts in 1993. and who He could very well have provided the missing “local help”) during and Iftaar party.
This man is in-charge of Law and Order.

So has anyone, other that the victims and their families paid for this tragedy. No. The party at the center was brought back to power by the Indian Voter after the 26/11 tragedy. The politicians involved were moved and then rewarded amply for services rendered to the Gandhi Family.
Who, then is responsible for the aforementioned travesties? The Indian Voter who re-elected the Congress government. You see, in democracy, we deserve the government we elect.

The article on R R Patil and the Iftaar Party:
CNN-IBN investigated how closely is the underworld connected to politics? We bring you some pictures that expose how deep the nexus run.
Maharashtra Home Minister R.R. Patil was spotted with Salim Patel - a man known to be close to infamous gangster Dawood Ibrahim. Patel was arrested in the Hyderabad blasts case. The state home minister has also been seen with another dreaded criminal -- Mobin Qureshi - a suspect in the murder of a BJP MLA Prem Kumar Sharma. And if that wasn’t enough, Patil has also been seen accepting a bouquet of flowers from Irfan Qureshi, a builder who's been blacklisted by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation. Patil met all three men at an Eid function organised by Minority Commission Chairman Naseem Siddiqui at his residence in Mumbai.
