Last evening, it was a delightful sight to watch the news channels and to be witness to a rare phenomenon on the Indian political firmament. Political parties across the spectrum, coming out to condemn the ‘Dantewada massacre’ of the CRPF jawans, by the Maoists and rallying around the theme that the extremist group needs to be taken head on and brought to book without any delay.
Earlier, PC Chidambaram while accepting responsibility for the tragedy, had reportedly offered his resignation to the Prime Minister and his party leader and expectedly, they refused to accept it and pressed for his continuation. I would like to believe that all these actions were spontaneous and not a pantomime to score political points!
It’s my personal opinion that this Home Minister has been proactive, has been businesslike in the running of his ministry and has taken many balanced decisions towards enhancement of security preparedness. One also admits that though much has been done, much more needs to be done. He’s media savvy and has articulated his thought process well to the people and perhaps, it’s this general acceptance of his capability among people at large, that has made the BJP to come out and say that his resignation at this juncture would be like handing over the game, set and match to the Maoists!!
Let our political leaders show maturity and the grace to wholeheartedly endorse the good policies without worrying about who or which party is the initiator and only, such a consensus would help the country in its progress towards prosperity, overcoming all dangers. So, I’d like to say three cheers to our political leaders at this rare show of bonhomie and understanding!!!
