I admit I have soft corner for Bengal CM. Didi you may (I knew it all along) smirk. But I can not defend him for letting Kissenji go for the kidnapped OC. Who knows when we will get another chance? Why let go the big fish in the net? Dawood was a petty criminal before he fled to Pakistan, so was Bhindran Wala, a protégé of Ms G. Virappan was a petty bandit, Ulfa was just a small outfit Or Osama a protégé of US or Pakistan no match for us the situation became unmanageable later on.

Regardless of vehement denial that this was an exception tomorrow if a SP or DM or judge or god forbade CM is kidnapped, can we go after the kidnappers hammer and tong? I am sure they can even have writers building the secretariat in W. Bengal. I may not admire Mr Gill but he was effective in doing away with terrorism in Punjab.

Once gangrene spreads throughout the body, amputation is the only way out. If army flinches from causalities no war can be fought. Top ranking officers have made the supreme sacrifice all over India. The job of a police officer is a risky one and he is not there just to do well…Whatever… With full sympathy for the family of the OC Mr Dutta, I think a huge blunder has been committed this time. Hope I am proved wrong
