A sad day indeed

I have finished reading about the series of blasts across Bangalore first and then Gujarat. It seems that people who are miserable want company and want to drag every one down.

It was equally unfortunate to hear comments from the Gujarat Congress spokesman that Modi should take responsibility and resign. The blatant attempt to play politics with a national tragedy speaks volumes of the opportunistic politics that have come to undo the Indian growth story.

Equally horrible is the decision of the NDA to oppose the liberalization agenda that UPA plans to push through as a result of winning the no confidence vote.

Seems that India is suceeding despite the inept politicians and that the politicians are getting thouroughly shameless and are opposing the Nuclear deal (which will give energy security) and now prevent liberalization!!

The usual platitudes of the bombing being a cowardly act, asking for people to exercise restraint etc are being bandided around. Meanwhile the few terrorists who were caught red handed trying to enter the parliament are yet to be executed despite a Supreme court order. One wonders what they will do by catching perpetrators of the latest attrocity.
