Our home minister should be relieved - the terrorists could manage another serial blasts in October, with just one day to spare, or else, a month would have passed without any major terrorist attack.
We should assume that he is enjoying being the home minister of this country when there are lots of 'happenings'!
The shameless man has appealed to one and all to remain calm, and not to react to these blasts - similar to what he is doing! We have to wait patiently till the next serial blasts.
And, make sure that you do not blame 'any particular community' for the happenings. The mainstream media and the 'secular' parties in India are having one of their favourite pieces of 'information' - yes, the Malegaon blasts. See, now that a handful of Hindu people have been booked (God knows based on what proof) the terrorism in India has also become 'secular'. The whole terrorist happenings in the country, going on for decades, has been 'religiously balanced' with this one incident!
Now the 'minority' community can carry on their 'good work' without the fear of being accused of religious fundamentalism!
The Malegaon incident has given enough reason for the secular brigade to shout down any demand for stringent acts to curb terrorism. So, more 'happy' days ahead for all of us!
