Such small incidents happen: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister
Updated on Sunday, November 30, 2008, 00:00 IST
Mumbai, Nov 29: Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil on Saturday kicked off a row when he said "such small incidents happen" with reference to terror attacks in Mumbai.

"Such small incidents happen..", was what Patil, who also holds the Home portfolio, told reporters, little realising his faux pas.

What led to the controversy are his remarks " bade shahron mein aise ek adh hadse hote rahte hain. Woh 5,000 logon ko marne aye the lekin humne kitna kum nuksan hone diya . (Such small incidents happen in big cities. They (terrorists) came to kill 5,000 people but we ensured minimal damage)".

Patil was not available for comment but sources close to him said the senior NCP leader did not mean to downplay the terror attack and that the remarks were being quoted "out of context".

I dont know what would Mr Patil call big He and all his fellow politicians are not really bothered about the contry ot the contrymen All they know is partisan politics to fullfill their lust for power and money Most of our police is busy with VIP security, security of th common man is not even on the agenda At this moment of crisis where is the MNS chief Raj Thackrey and his sena - all of them are now hiding like mice - why dont they go and fight pakistan now? And where is that Amar Singh - I am sure he would have all the sympathy with the terrorists and their families I am sure our country will be shredded to bits and pieces soon -H - UK a
Mr Patil fi this is a small incident then u have been in the front face and have been done it in 1 or 2 hours but it went on upto 60 hours and also have done a damage of 4000 crores does this seems small to you ok if this means a small amount and a small incident to you that what yo have earned in your carrier the that ok you can give the same to the poor and the injuried in the attack -Rakesh Chidurala - INDIA a
If this was a small incident Mr Patil, why didn`t you go and take the front in the operation? This incident was not small MrPatil, but you and your dirty politics is small in front of terrorismHow can a person who is the home minister of the state give such a shameless statementI knew that you are mean Mr Patil, but didn`t know that your meanness have reached this levelDo one thing Mr PatilGhar jao, chullu bhar pani lo aur usmein dub maroHad you been sent infront of the terrorists, then you would have known how big or small this incident was, you clownYou are holding the position of home ministry as well as you are the Deputy Chief Minister and you make such statements, sharm nahin aati tumko? If few people break into someone`s house and kill all of the family members and then the head of the family says, this was a small incident, from which breed does that person belong to? I would really doubt if he is a human being or a cross hybrid of wild animals -Indian citizen - India a
