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”

Have your say on this senseless and callous statement from the man who’s responsible for the security of Mumbai.
[...] you might wonder why these two politicians want this kind of publicity. On the other hand, you may remember that R.R.Patil was the home minister of the state when the attack happened, and was then sacked for saying that such small incidents happen in big cities like Mumbai. [...]
Patil, you are even worse than the terrorists – atleast they attack from front and you all hid when problems are there and when problem is done, you come out to take the credit and make such statements.
Marathi people – See the difference – Your own Marathi Manoos is claiming it was a small incident and north india and south india commandos helped mumbai get out of the terrorists.
so wake up all mumbaikars, let no more politicians bring region as a weapon to dirty your all mind. and if anyone does that that politician should be sent to pakistan!
The tragedy of our times is that the incompetent people occupy the offices of responsibility.
WHAT! SHAMELESS PATIL, IF THIS WAS SMALL, WHY WERE U HIDING, SHOULD U HAVE COME AT THE SCENE OF CRIME. ALL SLANG LANGUAGE WILL BE SMALL FOR U PATIL, I WISH SOMEONE THROW THESE PEOPLE IN FRONT OF TERRORISTS…
CITIZENS OF INDIA – WHAT THE HELL, THIS TIME PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE, COME FORWARD AND GET THESE PEOPLE TO THE STREET
PATIL NEXT TIME IF SUCH INCIDENTS HAPPEN I WILL THROW U IN FRONT OF TERRORIST TO FIGHT (YES WILL GIVE U GUN), DEKHTA HOON WHAT WILL U DO!
