Security breach in Punjab cannot be just assigned to the Cop who leaked movements to the 'farmers'.

This is Congress written all over it. How many suspicious deaths and assassinations under their watch.

To those who cry intelligence/ @HMOIndia failure, here are some thoughts:

1. When you blame @AmitShah , are you suggesting that he sat on an intelligence?

Does the SPG not rely on the state police and protection protocols when PM visits states?

Instead, should they tap every phone in the country or of all cops in states PM is visiting?

2. Where in the world is such an intelligence mechanism where every DGP's phone is tapped in the country?

If such a thing were to be part of our security framework, are you willing to defend it?

Especially given our leftist international press?

3. How many of you stood with Amit Shah when the snoopgate happened in Gujarat when he was HM?

Why do you think he was acquitted? What do you think that means to the way Home Ministries work?

4. To those who are crying for 'action' in 24 hours, what makes you think that

the HM of the country has less concern about the security of his PM under his watch?

Especially for someone who has stuck together with his leader through all the ordeals since the '90s?

5. Why do you insist that all 'action' must be taken in full public view?

6. HM has already warned that he will make them accountable for what has happened. Give him time. We are all spectators in this, HM is the doer.

For a govt that kept the country riot-free with not a single incident of bombing the past 7 years, should you not allow SOPs?

7. For the first time since Modi has come power, I see the whole nation united behind him.

Let's not lose focus on the culprits this time.

Congress must answer, and let's demand an apology from their leaders.

Where is Rahul Gandhi? Any connection with his trips abroad?

8. I doubt if those that demand HM to resign take any cognisance of how HM works post every incident.

For example, I saw none of them tweeting about the arrest of Jaswinder Multani in Germany.

Do they think that happened without all the efforts from the Home Ministry?

I saw no elation on the number or arrests post anti-CAA protests either.

Pathancot, Bengal, farmers, Jan 27, Anit-CAA. But no study on any of these events and tracking of the GOI actions in each.

Just check how many BJP karykartas died after June last year. It's a good start.

9. Also, there is need to differentiate a system flaw from the inability of an incumbent minister/team.

Why some actions possible, some not?

If this is a system issue, then let's have a dialogue on what exactly must change and how it will stand a BJP as well as non-BJP rule.

Every time you train your guns at HM or PM, you are letting the real culprits get away and the system to remain as such.

PM's security breach was dramatic.

Actions taken from now on may or may not be that dramatic.

It will be good for the vigilante to follow HM actions.

Otherwise, you will tweet saying 'HM must resign' and get about your day. You will not even bother reading or researching more about what happens after today.

It's the Home Ministry that works each day every day on every issue that we know of and that we do not know of.

Spectators can cheer or taunt. Performers will continue to do their duty as if in penance.

It's our fault if we do not differentiate honest people in power from those who ate the country like termites.

2009 would have been different if you were half as vigilant as this.
