Re: Indian Home Affairs Minister resigned



The police were ill equipped to deal with the current crisis. Bullets went
right through their sub standard helmets and bullet proof vests.

Obviously money meant to buy proper protection for the police have been
siphoned off at different levels. The people in charge

should face criminal charges and not just resign or be sacked. It is the
Indian media which is now pushing for greater accountability from

the government.

The Minister resigned. The Chief of Security sacked and
more will be sacked. Even in India, the standard of
accountability is higher than Singapore. What a shame.
Lee Kuan Yew still have the cheek to go lecture the
Indians on how to govern their country.
