Autonomous Body to Deal with Threats to India

http://in.indiatimes.com/vote.cms

There is a pressing requirement for an autonomous body to deal with internal as well as external threats to India's security. The organisation would obviate lack of coordination bet ween the Defence and Home ministries currently dealing with the threats. For this setup to have any meaningful effectiveness, it must be headed by an expert professional and not some dimwit politician who happens to be from the ruling party and whose king sized ego and the dictat of chair person of his/her party will be more important to him/her than the national security.

I agree, far too many new bodies have been setup without proper preparation or clear motivations. These announcements sound good in the news and give people the assurance that something is being done about their sorry plight.

What matters at the end of the day, is now how many people or institution or money we throw at our problems - but how sincere and honest we are in our attitude towards these problems.

Why can we not reform the existing enforcement agencies in stead of spawning new ones?
