We are proud today of our Mr. Mohan Chand Sharma who has laid down his life for the sake of our nation. He made us proud that our country has such brave soldiers who never bothering for their own life but cares for their nationals life. He saved the life so many people’s lives that could be killed by these coward terrorists.

First thing he has proved is that coward terrorists cannot terrorize the brave ones. Brave can face any situation but on the other hand coward cannot come on the front and take the shelters of the hide. Brave personalities united others with them. Everybody wants that I am proud to be related i.e., brother, classmate, block mate, city mate and My Indian citizen. On the other hand even their parents/brothers/ classmate/ blockmate/ citymate/ and My Indian citizen down those coward terrorists. Even Pakistan says that they cannot be our citizens. Nobody wants to be related to these low morale cowards.

Second thing what I have noticed that the fellow who kills others is always mentally ill & mental fellow. The strong reason behind my saying is that everybody knows that human is a creature of God. When we worship the creatures of man (Statues, Photo albums, Paintings etc.) then we must worship what god has created means human being. Worshiping men’s’ creature and killing God’s creature is insulting God. Which I feel no body likes to insult God what so ever the reason may be.

Third, I would like to draw everybody’s attention is that Late Mr. Mohan Chand Sharma has integrated our nation and its different communities. Every body is proud and feels that he belong to Mr. Sharma’s nation and his co-citizen. On the other hand you can see the MNS /Simi/Bajrang Dal workers disintegrating the different communities. But from every community Indians are saying that he is our “INDIAN” (without any cast, creed or state only one nation)

I salute Late Mr. Mohan Chand Sharma not only he has served the nation for the cause of the nation/nationals but major job he has done is united all the classes of Indian Societies.

Latest Update at 12:30 AM 14th September 2008:

There were in total 5 blasts in Delhi, in which 18 people has lost their life so far and more than 125 people are injured. “Indian Mujahideen” has taken the responsibility of the blast. 2 people has been arrested so far. Delhi Police is conducting raid in so many places.

The capital city is rocked by four successive blasts on Saturday evening killing one person and injuring 40 others. According to the recent reports first blast occurred in Karol Bagh followed by 2 blasts in Cannaught Place and the fourth one in M-block market in Greater Kailash.

The first blast occured at 6:10 pm and all successive blasts happened within next 40 minutes. The recent reports say that the first explosion, reported in Karol Bagh’s famous Gaffar Market’s MCD market, was the result of a Compressed Natural Gas (CNG) cylinder explosion however the exact reasons for other blasts are unknown. A second blast has been reported in Central Park of Connaught Place near Pallika Bazaar.

All blasts occured at the most crowded places of Delhi. The blasts on Barkhamba Road went off near the Metro Station. The blast in Cannaught Palace took place at Gopaldas Bhawan’s parking lot and is believed to have been kept in a dustbin.

Ambulances rushed to the blast sites and the injured have been rushed to nearby nursing homes and Ram Manohar Lohia Hospital. Also Bomb Disposal Squads have rushed to all the affected sites which have been cordoned off and traffic diverted.

According to the recent reports, one more bomb was found at India Gate which was safely defused. Police asked people not to panic. Punjab, Haryana and Chandigarh as well all Metros have been put on maximum alert.

In an email to media organisations, Indian Mujahideen, the terror outfit that had claimed responsibility for the July 26 Ahmedabad blasts, said it had carried out the serial blasts in Delhi. It threatened that there would be nine blasts in all.

Clearly the incident is pointing towards terrorism involvement. Terrorism is major problem in India. Earlier serial blasts had rocked the pink city, Jaipur followed by Ahmedabad balsts and the hi-tech city Bangalore had not remained untouched by the terror. India has to take major steps to combat this rising problem.

Fresh reports at 9:30 pm: Till now, at least 18 have been reportedly killed and over 100 have been injured in the five successive blasts in Delhi. It is feared that casuality number may go higher.

As per reports two people have been detained in the case. Police told that a boy named Rahul had claimed to have seen two terrorists dressed in black kurta pajama placing black parcels in a dustbin. Soon after this, a blast went off. He said the persons were unfamiliar and that he had seen them for the first time.

Twin blasts were then reported in GK-I’s M-Block market, which immediately shut down. The two bombs went off within 5 minutes of each other. One is believed to have been placed in a dustbin and the other in a scooter. The explosives are believed to be made of Ammonium Nitrate tied to integrated circuits

All the blasts were said to be of low intensity. Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit is meeting the Home Minister after which the Union Cabinet will hold an emergency meeting. She told that a compensation package will be announced after the meeting.

Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Saturday said that Terrorism is the biggest threat to South Asia’s stability.  While speaking at the opening ceremony of the 3-day long 15th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation (SAARC) summit in Colombo, he reminded the twin blasts in Bangalore and Ahmadabad and the Indian Embassy attack in Kabul, and stressed the need to fight terrorism.

“Terrorists and extremists don’t know borders. We must act with determination to fight terrorism. We cannot lose the battle against ideologies of hatred,” said Dr Singh.

He further called on the eight-nation regional grouping to identify and address new challenges if it wants to be a dynamic and responsive body. Dr Singh also discussed the surging crude prices and warned member nations that rising crude prices could jeopardize the region’s economic development. He said, “We must pool our resources to tap renewable resources in South Asia”.

Calling the establishment of SAARC Food Bank in 2007 an extremely significant development, Dr Singh said it was “an example of our foresight in the wake of world food crisis”.

“We need a second Green Revolution” to tackle the growing food crisis, the Prime Minister said in his address. “South Asian countries need to work together to ensure food security so that the specter of food shortages and hunger vanishes from our region,” he added.

Modi said,” the country needed to fight the “proxy war” being waged by terrorists.”

He announced a reward of Rs 51 lakh for information leading to the terrorists involved in the Ahmedabad serial blasts and the planting of bombs in Surat. He said with terrorists targeting cities like Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Jaipur, Mumbai and Hyderabad, it seemed that their intention was to cripple financial activities in the country.

Modi also announced rewards of Rs 21,000 each for those who gave information about live bombs and cars laden with explosives found from Surat and Ahmedabad on Sunday. Police said it was similar to the 18 found yesterday from in and around Varacha, where several diamond processing units are located.

The bombs planted in Surat had integrated circuits (IC), Deputy Director of Forensic Science Laboratories (FSL), Surat, S M Darji said. It was the first time when ICs are used in bombs.

25 teams of ATS have started their investigations into the Ahmedabad blasts. The Mumbai crime branch has also assured its assistance to the ATS teams investigating the blasts case.

Meanwhile, Harakat ul-Jihad-I-Islami (HuJI) has also claimed responsibility for the Ahmedabad blasts. Gujarati TV channel TV9 on Wednesday received a letter from HuJI in which they claimed responsibility for the blasts.

Earlier, it was reported that the Indian Mujahideen had also written e-mails to several media houses claiming responsibility of the blasts in Bangalore and Ahmedabad.

In the wake of rise in toll of recovery of bombs, strict security measures are being taken in the city.

It is reported that the Students Islamic Movement of India (SIMI) can target Goa for its next terror operations, presently being in Karnataka.

SIMI had made Karnataka its base to conduct and assist in terror acts across India. But now, Intelligence Bureau sources said that the change in Karnataka government switching to first time Bharatiya Janata Party in power has made the banned outfit shift out of the state.

Mohammad Asif, a SIMI operative who was arrested recently in Karnataka, revealed during his narco analysis test that the outfit had decided to shift out of the state if the BJP came to power.

With other gathered information, the IB has come to the conclusion that Goa would be the next hub for SIMI.  An IB official said at least 60 per cent of SIMI’s operations have already been shifted to Goa.

IB told two reasons behind moving to Goa by SIMI. First, an attack on Goa would get SIMI worldwide attention thanks to the foreign tourist presence there. Second, security in Goa is not up to the mark lest it act as a deterrent for tourism which is one of the state’s primary sources of income.

A senior police officer in Goa told rediff.com that SIMI was in constant touch with certain Naxalite outfits and had sought their help in setting up base there.

A police officer in Karnataka said, “This move does not mean that their job will become easier. SIMI’s plans to carry out attacks in Karnataka are still on, and they need to keep a constant watch on its movements.”

In Goa SIMI plans to conduct training programs for its cadres, launch recruitment drives and, over a period of time, smuggle in arms and ammunition as was being done in Andhra Pradesh, Uttar Pradesh, and Karnataka.
