BJP condemns Mumbai blasts, asks govt to take terror head on

New Delhi, Jul 13 (PTI) Strongly condemning the terror
attack in western Indian city Mumbai, Bharatiya Janata Party
(BJP) Wednesday said that the terror war against India was
still on and asked the government to take a determined stand
to deal with the menace.
"We strongly condemn this dastardly attack. This is a
deliberate attack on Mumbai which has been targeted by
anti-Indian forces," BJP spokesman Prakash Javadekar told
reporters here.
He said the attacks proved that the war against India
through terrorism still continued.
"We need to investigate if there are any links to
Pakistan," he said.
"We need to send a strong signal against terror. We
demand that the government should take proper care to prevent
such attacks. We need to take terror head on," Javadekar said,
adding that merely issuing red alerts will not suffice.
"A big machinery had been put in place (by the
government) after the 26/11 attacks but it seems to be
clueless on what is going on. A strong political will and
determination is needed to fight terror," he said.
In reply to a question, Javadekar said that not hanging
those who have been given capital punishment for terror acts
seemed to give encouragement to terrorists for carrying out
such attacks.
Sympathising with the next of kin of those killed and the
injured in the serial blasts, Javadekar said BJP activists
were working closely with the authorites to provide help to
all injured.
