Bomb Blasts In India - 1

[Bodhi]

<!--QuoteBegin-->QUOTE<!--QuoteEBegin-->Reacting to the serial bomb blasts in Ahmedabad, Shiv Sena supremo Bal Thackeray on Tuesday said the attack was a challenge thrown by Muslim fanaticism at Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi.

Modi should take up the gauntlet and crush the Islamic terrorism with an iron hand and not just ask the army to do a flag-march, Thackeray said in an editorial in the party mouthpiece Saamana.

The editorial said, "Pakistan always had prior information about any terror attack on the Indian soil...

"Wiping out Pakistan from the world map is the only remedy to annihilate the predator in the form of Islamic terrorism."

To qualify as India's genuine friend in the comity of nations, America has to do this, Thackeray commented.

He said the Gujarati people were at present in the grip of fear following the cruelty shown by the attackers who did not even spare hospitals.
