French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira Resigns With Wrong Music

French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira resigned this morning

Taubira says the new law will divide French in two parts

How Justice Minister of a country can go soft against terrorism?

French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira’s resignation was announced by President Francois Hollande this morning. The grim situation had worsened for Christiane Taubira, a leftist hardliner, since the November terrorist attack. The president Francois Hollande is quite serious to shred terrorism off from the roots and make France as a safer place to live. He had already announced a new law to be brought in place which will play hard against terrorist activities. The new terror policy that was to be passed during the upcoming session was passing through some controversial debates. How is it that the president of the country wants a strict action against the brutal killers of humanity and the justice minister of the same country has a soft corner for it? Christiane Taubira was not able to digest the new law, soon to be in place, that says if a person caught is engaged in terrorist activities will be stripped of his or her French citizenship. This will be in case the person has a dual citizenship. Can we say French Justice Minister Christiane Taubira resigned with wrong music?

What made Christiane Taubira to go against this law. She had another angle to it. She felt this will divide the whole country in two parts. One, as pure French citizens and other as with dual citizenship. She felt the people having dual citizenship will come under scrutiny and risk. This is probably not the case. The president Francois Hollande is quite clear that the people having purely French citizenship will never get engaged in terrorist activites. It is the people who belong to other countries and have taken French citizenship would be the miscreants. And the action will be taken against anyone when he or she is caught in such activities with ample proof. This, in any case, is the demand of time and situation to taken a stern action against people convicted of terrorism. And why France, the same is required anywhere in the world.

Jean-Jacques Urvoas has replaced Chritiane Taubira with immediate effect. Jean-Jacques Urvoas supports the thought process expressed by the president. Francois Hollande is just back from India after his 3-day visit there. He was the guest of honor for the annual Republic Day Parade 2016 that held in New Delhi. Both the countries chiefs – French President Francois Hollande and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi felt a strong need for a collaborative approach while fighting against terrorism. Francois Hollande is bvery much in favour of tightening the strings and evolving strict security measures. Taubira has struck the wrong musical notes.

Taubira is the person who was quite enthusiastic introducing same-sex marriage law in France in 2013. In 2015, we have witnessed two severe terrorist attacks in France. The first one happened at the beginning of the year, in January. The other happened in November.
