Recurring blasts...

There has been another bomb blast in the national capital on Saturday, 27 September 2008. This one seems to lack the detailed planning and precise nature that seems to have gone in to other recent blasts across the country. There are reasons to suspect that the bomb might have exploded accidentally at a time and place that was not exactly planned beforehand. Be as it may, it does not provide any solace to the common man. The blasts seem to have become a routine affair, something to expect almost every other week end.

 As far as the terrorised citizens are concerned, this blast is yet another reminder that the security situation in the country is worse than ever before. The least that the home minister should do is to accept the moral responsibility for the nightmarish atmosphere, and put in his papers. But, it would be a surprise if the Congress party and the Government would be willing to demand the resignation. After all, the grand old party of Indian politics has played a very significant role in lowering the standards of Indian polity from those high benchmarks set by its own pre-independence stalwarts. A very sorry state of affairs indeed...
