Indian Home Minister Shivraj Patil
"Saya ambil tanggungjawab moral sepenuhnya atas serangan di Mumbai," kata Patil selepas menyampaikan surat peletakan jawatan kepada Perdana Menteri Manmohan Singh. Patil, 73, dilantik sebagai Menteri Dalam Negeri pada 2004.
Sejak beberapa bulan lepas, menteri berkenaan menerima kritikan dari parti pembangkang dan rakyat terhadap tahap keselamatan dalam negara yang didakwa gagal membendung peningkatan kegiatan pengganas di negara itu.
Stesen televisyen India membuat spekulasi bahawa Menteri Kewangan P. Chidabaram atau Menteri Luar Pranab Mukherjee besar kemungkinan akan menjadi calon pengganti dengan Manmohan dijangka kembali mengisi portfolio Menteri Kewangan yang pernah disandang pada awal 1990an.
Populariti Patil sebagai menteri semakin pudar selepas beberapa bandar raya India seperti Ahmedabad, Bangalore, New Delhi dan Jaipur menjadi mangsa serangan pengganas baru-baru ini di mana ramai penduduk terbunuh.

Di Mumbai India, serangan pengganas menyebabkan beberapa individu berjawatan penting melepaskan jawatan. Satu tindakan yang pada perkiraan aku adalah tindakan seorang yang mempunyai prinsip dan bermaruah.
Cuma aku tertanya - tanya bagaimana kalau serangan seperti di Mumbai berlaku di Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia ( minta di jauh kan Allah S.W.T). Mahu kah Menteri dalam Negeri meletak jawatan ?. Rasa aku tidak. Di Malaysia tidak mungkin berlaku perletakan jawatan secara sukarela atau atas dasar tanggungjawab. Majoriti nya terpaksa direntap turun. Itu pun masih ada lagi suara "Kami berdiri teguh dibelakang Si Polan", walaupun dah sah Si Polan tu Penyamun Tarbus. Itu lah realiti di Malaysia...........
