Mumbai blasts


It is ridiculous that as the operation to flush out the attackers was going on, the Indian security authorities had already determined that the attackers had come from Pakistan. This is an absurd and illogical approach which will not help the ongoing CBMs between the two countries. Also, we should not send our ISI chief to India just because their prime minister made the request. This will send the wrong signals across the border and to the Pakistani public.

India blaming Pakistan for a terrorist act on its soil is not something new. India has always jumped to such hasty conclusions — and usually without offering any evidence — without the consideration that it will help the enemies of peace between the two countries.

Surely, India knows that it has dozens, nay hundreds, of groups on its own soil which can, and have in the past, take up arms against the state. Besides, Pakistan itself of late has been a victim of terrorist acts, so what could it possibly stand to gain by doing something similar on Indian soil?
