Desperate Times Call for Desperate Measures

One of the questions from my previous post is answered. Shivraj Patil has quit. Desperate times do call for desperate measures. But such measures can have good or bad effect. The good obviously is the ouster of Mr. Patil, the bad being the entrance of Mr. Chidambaram as the Home Minister.

When the country is having a spate of terrorist attacks, not to mention coupled with internal disturbances in various parts of our nation, do we need a person who is making his debut at one of the most important positions in the cabinet. When our great (sarcasm intended) leaders are today contemplating a federal agency (something that had to be done a decade ago) and also mulling over more trained and equipped forces to fight terrorists, you putting a man in charge of this field who has no experience at all. I mean COME ON. Don't let one grave mistake lead to another.

I admit Mr. Chidambaram is a great minister - but that is in Economics and Finance and I will also give Commerce ministry to him, but not HOME. Do we not have any person who is more experienced to handle this position?
