Sushil Kumar Shinde - iron man of India

[ravishingravi]

"Union Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde on Saturday said that the incursion by the Chinese troops in the Ladakh region in Jammu and Kashmir would be decided during the Flag Officers meeting of both the armies. "I have personally been to that area and it is a 'no- man's land', but it is also a disputed area. Our people sometimes go there and so do theirs. So, this is the third round of flag meeting by officers that will happen," he told mediapersons here. The Home Minister was on a visit to Daman to formally inaugurate a police-training centre. Meanwhile, the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) today lashed out at the Congress-led UPA Government for inaction on this issue. BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy said India could not be seen as a weak and vulnerable country. "It has been officially accepted by the Indian authorities that the Chinese have camped 19 kilometres on the Indian soil, they have pitched up their tents. The Bharatiya Janata Party would like to know would the Indian Government only react if they use steel and mortars to build up a post there, is it that time that the Indian Government would react," said Rudy. "The Government of India should retaliate in its own form and same action should be taken and we cannot be seen to be a lame duck government, a weak government, a government incapable of deciding and acting," he added, while talking to the media at a press conference in the national capital. Prime Minister Dr. Manmohan Singh has said India does not want to accentuate the situation in the wake of the recent Chinese incursion in Ladakh. "We do have a plan. We do not want to accentuate the situation. We do believe that it is possible to resolve this problem. It is a localised problem. The talks are going on," said Dr. Singh. Defence Minister A.K. Antony yesterday said that negotiations and consultations are on at various levels to find a peaceful solution to the Chinese incursion issue in Ladakh. "Negotiations and consultations are going on at various levels to find out a peaceful solution to Chinese incursion issue," he told mediapersons outside the Parliament in New Delhi. Chief of Army Staff, General Bikram Singh, had earlier briefed the Defence Minister on the Chinese incursion in Ladakh and the situation along the border. The Indian Army has given its inputs to the Government and the National Security Advisor headed China Study Group, which is handling the present situation in Ladakh. India had earlier on Tuesday asked China to maintain the status-quo on the Line of Actual Control (LAC). On April 15, a Platoon-strength contingent of China's People's Liberation Army (PLA) entered the Indian territory in Daulat Beg Oldi (DBO) sector in eastern Ladakh and erected a tented post, setting the stage for a face-off with Indian troops." http://www.dnaindia.com/india/1827786/report-sushilkumar-shinde-expects-flag-officers-meet-to-resolve-chinese-incursion-issue I think at this rate we should just start learning mandariin. If this is the best posturing we can do, I can only imagine what the war cry would be like.

WTF??? Does the "honorable" minister not understand the meaning of no-man's land?? How come Chinese get into no-man's land and our esteemed Home Minister does not feel any sense of urgency???

Still wating for SoniaG's order to act it seems. He had once famously said "I am Soniaji's soldier & if Soniaji asks me to shoot, I will and I will shoot to kill."

Shinde draws flak for felicitation by murder accused at a function

Union home minister Sushilkumar Shinde landed himself in yet another controversy on Saturday after he was felicitated by a murder accused at a function in Solapur, which is his own constituency. Shinde was felicitated by Shankar Mhetre, who is accused of opening fire on an election campaign rally of the Bhartiya Janata Party (BJP) in Akkalkot constituency in Solapur in 2009, in which one person was killed and several others were injured. The case is still pending before the Solapur magistrate court against the accused, who is the brother of former Congress minister Siddharam Mhetre. The latter was the minister of state for home during the time of the shooting, and he had to step down from his position after the incident following wide-spread agitation. The incident had created a lot of tension in the region, leading to agitations calling for Mhetre’s arrest. The Solapur police named Mhetre as the prime accused along with others. The function on Saturday was for the inauguration of a sugar factory in Solapur for which Shinde was invited.
