Varanasi Blasts

Everybody ought to condemn the cowardly terrorist bomb attacks on the devotees at the ancient Sankat Mochan temple and train passengers in the city of Varanasi on Tuesday evening. The serial bombings killed at least 24 people, leaving more than a hundred seriously injured.

Shedding the blood of innocent children, women and men cannot be the work of God-believers. They are necessarily on the side of Satan. Their main motive is to break the harmony between communities and instigate communal conflicts and religious wars.

Every Indian (believer or atheist alike) must urge the religious communities to maintain peace and harmony and not to play into the hands of the perpetrators of the crime. My prayers and sympathies are with the survivors enduring pain with wounded psyches and with the relatives of the deceased. Let us stand in solidarity with them and not allow religious and political fanaticism to prevail in our secular democratic republic of India. The union and state governments must take all possible steps to ensure the safety of its citizens and bring to justice those behind the blasts.
 

Comments:
The people who are planting bombs at religious places are serving whom?

Not the Kashmiris. If you create more and more anger you can get nothing through negotiations and negotiations are the only way ahead. If you fight first, get frustrated and the come to the negotiating table what can you hope to achieve?

Not the Indian Muslims. In a Hindu majority society these terrorists are inciting violence. If a backlash comes it can only affect the Indian Muslims adversely. So such dastardly attacks do not serve the Indian Muslim as some would like others to believe.

The logic can be more unrest, more victims and more recruits. But people are beginning to see through that game.

Peace loving people in all communities are simply too many for anyone with other ideas. Such people will end up frustrated in the long run. - Raj - Mar. 10, 2006
