Union Minister for Minority Affairs, Abdul Rehman Antulay has sent his resignation to the Prime Minister. Just as well, as he deserves to go.

For, he has made a mockery of collective responsibilty and iirepairably damaged India's case in the Mumbai terror attack investigation.
.
The Minister, with his foot in the mouth, and heart in minority pandering, by raising strange questions regarding Mumbai terror attack in general and former ATS Chief Hemant Karkare's death in particular.

Antulay questioned Karkare's visit to the Cama Hospital instead of Hotel Taj or Hotel Oberoi and drew a parallel between Karkare's Malegon probe and his death indirectly saying that 'Hindus' could have liquidated him.

These irresponsible statements could not be brushed aside as off-the-cuff, as they have come from a Minister in the Union Cabinet and his recklessness puts India in a strange spot as he is a 'Muslim' looking after Minority Affairs!
He has not only caused immense damage to India's efforts in bringing Pakistan to book, but also has given a fresh ammunition to the 'enemy State', which is already in a denial mode refusing to accept the irrefutable results of India's investigation on Mumbai terror attack.

There has been a sustained campaign by vested interests in the internet and other medium blaming 'Hindu-Zionists' for the death of Hemant Karkare and the Mumbai terror attack,. The motive of this group is to exonerate the Jihadis and give enough ammunition to Pakistan to take on India.

In this context Antulay's statements gain importance and plays straight into the enemy's hands. Thankfully there are no takers for his irresponsbile concoctions.

It is strange that Prime Minister and the Congress President dragged their feet over Antulay's remarks, as he deserved to be kicked out, rather than be allowed to go out on his own terms. This government has always viewed minority issues including terrorism and evangelism through the vote-bank prism.

Antulay has opened a Pandora's box with his audacious antics, but it could not be closed with his resignation, because, former Maharashtra Deputy Chief Minister R R Patil had already stated that Hemnat Karkare had gone to him and cried over his role in the Malegon blast investigation. It is not yet made clear whether Karkare cried for the 'accusations' from Hindu organisations or for the 'pressure & instructions' from the powers that were.
Also former Maharashtra Minister Narayan Rane had voluntarily made some disparaging remarks that some powerful politicians have played dirty games with regard to Mumbai attack.

It may be recalled that only during the Chief Ministership of Antulay, the underworld got well established in Mumbai and elements like Dawood Ibrahim were let loose to make the commercial capital of India a real den for smugglers, murderers and anti-social elements. Antulay was found guilty by the court in a cement scam. Since his track record is not credible, it is only logical that whatever he says alos lacks credibilty.
