The tragedy unfolding in Mumbai doesn't necessary relate to scores of people murdered in cold blood by 'cowards' deemed 'terrorists'!

The tragedy is with our politicians and the garb of certain animals that they choose to wear. Today's cartoon in the TOI is brilliant proof.

The silent one, in particular, apalls me. With all due respect, let me state this unequivocally. Mr. Manmohan Singh-ji, we in India totally respect you as an economist and finance whiz. But as Prime Minister, you just don't show enough guts and steel. Your voice is a dead giveaway to your seeming lack of spine. The events in Mumbai and your speech thereafter have conclusively proved that you are unsuitable for the post. People throughout the world and in particular, across the border, are having a good laugh.

Besides, lets get this straight - we've always suspected that you are only a front for Madam Soniaji, pulling the strings from behind.

Now that you've taken over PC's portfolio, perhaps its time for you to relinquish yours. We don't need a pliant politician at one of our highest offices. We want a man of steel.

Hand it over to Madam. And since she's also been through a similar tragedy, perhaps she understands grief and the need to take action more than you could ever envision. Besides, with elections a few months away, this is the best chance that she'd ever get to holding top office.

With 200 bodies as evidence, lets see what she's made of.
