Pradhan committee Report

I was really surprised to see the kind of buck passing that the Pradhan committee report has revealed. We are not even entitled to see the complete report (as per stated in the house by home minister R. R. Patil for security reasons). Even the small glimpse we have got through the media leak has revealed what amount of co-ordination (or should I say lack of co-ordination) exists between Police force and even the Home ministry. The very ministry that controls the force.

The bureaucracy has lied a number of times as per the Pradhan committee report itself. The Home secretary and the chief secretary have said there was no intelligence input when to the same committee, the then DGP A. N. Roy has furnished even documents of such intelligence input. Can any kind of action, if not criminal proceeding be initiated against the bureaucrats? R. R. Patil has been crying foul for a long time over his sacking. His ministry has lied to the committee , plus his ministry failed to defend the people in number of ways. Does he take moral responsibly and resign? I have absolutely no idea, while there is no or why there cannot be no criminal proceeding against them. The chief of Police force has given in writing that there was unnecessary red tape in procurement and resource management. R. R. Patil once said, the never thought there would be an attack from the sea. Can't he or his men even see these red tapes that are right in front of his eyes?

Why just blame Mr. Patil, what about other people. Hassan Gafoor has been openly implicated by the report. He in turn has made allegation in the media against some very senior officers (some of whom did speak negatively of him to the committee). Is it not clear that there is some amount of dirty politics being played out here? Why is the government, which is bound to protect us, protecting the culprits. I am simply wondering. Does Qasab deserve to be hanged? Are there not greater culprits in our own society? Is it not a larger crime to not even try to do your duty? Are there any 'Few Good Men' in our governing system?

Our wishes for our nation would easily be on hollywood-bollywood storyboards than on the canvas of reality.
