Ahmedabad Blasts

Forty Five innocent civilians are reported to have been killed and over 100 injured in 16 serial blasts which struck Ahmedabad on the evening of July 26. This is the third state ruled by the Bharatiya Janata Party to be struck by jihadi terrorists, who have remained unidentified by the police and intelligence agencies so far. Will this be limited to the BJP rules states or will it spread to other states too is a question that needs to be investigated.

I don’t know but I have this distinct feeling that this series of blasts is different from the ones that we have seen in the past. The perpetrators are using a far more sophisticated strategy then what we have seen ever before.

This series is also different because for the first time we see hospitals as a target for down stream chain of the blasts.. This has not been seen ever before infact ever in all the terror bombings that took place. The fellas behind this series have the most sinister of the brains among all the terror outfits. I hope the Government of  India goes behind them with as much viciousness. In marathi there is a saying “Gadhava cha nanger firavane” which means effectively punishing the folks in such a manner that no one from their family is left to narrate a tale of what happened. I guess its time to do exactly that.

Terror outfits will go slow only if they know that the personal cost of supporting terror is  so high that even their downstream family is not left to reap the benefits. The Israelis have shown how its done. We need to do exactly that with the perpetrators of these blasts.
