Union Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday suggested splitting the Home Ministry and creating a separate ministry to handle matters not related to internal security.
The Home Minister said a division of the current functions of the Ministry of Home Affairs was necessary. "Subjects not directly related to internal security should be dealt with by a separate ministry or should be brought under a separate department in the MHA and dealt with by a minister, more or less independently, without referring every issue to the Home Minister.
