in response to trinamool maoist violence.

sorry i am going to earn a lot of wrath for my response.

i completely disagree with your method of dealing with the situation.

this is in context of where we are in power.

the law of the land should prevail. we should have the best police force in the country. what would help in our case is the local intelligence would be very strong. the anti-social elements(belonging to any party) should be brought to the notice of the police.

the police should be trained exclusively to deal with mass agitations which are often provocative to violence.

the police should be trained exclusively to deal with insurgency by militant groups.

the police should be made SENSITIVE to common peoples problems.

now situation is all the sections of the society including the ruling party cadres have lost faith in the home ministry.

everybody having a gun would not make bengal more secure. more weapons on either side would make the matters worse.

what is important is make the police force most effective.

it is laudable the way they have conducted the lalgarh operation.

they should eliminate all the private weapons be it with any party activists.

only then there is some hope.

same applies to kerala, specially in the cannannore and talashery areas.

complete deweaponisation of the area is the only way forward.

the home ministry is inexusible if the weapons are found in any house belonging to a worker of any party.

sorry i had written when post godhra riots happened.

vajpayee, advani, and modi should have gone to godhra and said very agressively" THE LAW OF THE LAND WOULD PREVAIL. THE CULPRITS WHO HAVE COMMITTED THE GHASTLY ACT AT GODHRA STATION ON THE SABARMATI EXPRESS WOULD BE HUNTED DOWN AND PUNISHED. NO REVENGE ON THE BASIS OF RELIGION SHOULD HAPPEN."

opposite happened...modi asked his party men to take private revenge...asked the police to collaborate or stay silent in the carnage that happenned.

a irreparable damage occurred after the riots.

nandigram.

the home ministry blundered umpteen times in handling the situation. it didnot protect the cpm cadres from trinamood/maoist goons. they had to stay in refugge camps nearby.

the failure of the administration was overrcome with the party.

the party went and 'recaptured' nandigram. there were victory rallies everywhere.

the 'victory' or 'recapture' of nandigram was the biggest defeat of the home ministry.

and the home minister replied 'we gave them back in the same coin'.

you have seen the effect.

i know i would be branded as an arm chair marxist, middle class, reviosinist etc.

i can't help.

give an open slogan'

NOBODY carrying a weapon would be spared.

see the difference.
