India under attack!

Yesterday I blogged about people getting killed in India due to blasts and stampedes of the recent days. Well today I was shocked to read about another series of bomb blasts, this time in far-north-eastern part of India. According to news reports I read online there were five blasts in Agartala, capital city of Tripura state which borders Bangladesh.

"Three blasts in Agartala, 35 injured" screamed the headlines in the DNA website, "Several injured in serial blasts in Agartala" says the Economic Times and there were several more headlines. It was sad to note that despite there being so many blasts there was hardly any detail published apart from the location of the bombs. This is because no mainstream national newspaper has a bureau or edition in this northeastern state capital. Like the central government the newspapers too have ignored the region.

I don't know how many people have to die, get crippled/ injured before the blood thirsty terrorists will be satiated. But one thing is pretty clear to me, the Tripura blasts are definitely the work of Islamic terrorists but these are Bangladeshi not Pakistani... Over the past several years illegal Bangladeshi Muslims have been entering India in millions and they are slowly but surely trying to create panic and usurp power. I hope minority-appeasing anti-national government led by a foreigner will soon go out of power and pave way for a patriotic government at the center.

Or am I asking for too much???
