No need to divide Home department

Home Minister Chidambaram strongly supporting a vertical division of the Home Ministry is unwarranted as it gives the intuition that his department is not able combat the present day challenges. Of late, it is the custom of delegating works to others and put the blame on them in failures. An able Home Department could easily look into the subject of internal security without causing unnecessary financial expenditure to state exchequer. If Chidambaram feels he is not able to co-ordinate the system by himself, then he mustresign from the post. There are able men in his party too to mange single handily and efficiently Home Department.

Even Marxist leaders in Kerala and elsewhere think the governace is good for them if state coffers are full and there are sufficient number of police men. Recruitment to police force has no ban when there were no recruitment in other departments. The profusion of police force is the mark of good rule according to them.

Mumabi terror attacks and related incidents are the outcome of the foolishness of the rulers and intelligence agencies. In Kerala too agents of ISC of Pakistan wander freely and they occasionally scold the government on a variety of counts. In courts too the Government prosecutors take a frosty stance and there by cold blooded killers get bail and come out from jails.

The NIA, NTRO, JIC, NCRB, NSG, NCTC and CBI are birds of same feather and outwardly meaningless if the employees of these agencies are uncommitted and the minister in charge of these wings incapable. If the Head master is strict teachers too. Otherwise there is no use of various departments and related bifurcations.
