Press Statement issued by

Shri L.K. Advani
Leader of the Opposition (Lok Sabha)

New Delhi – 13 May 2008

The entire country is outraged at the serial bomb blasts in Jaipur this evening, in which nearly fifty innocent people have been killed and many more injured.

I strongly condemn this dastardly act of terrorism. Serial bomb blasts at crowded places, and targeting unsuspecting citizens, has become a pattern of the terrorists’ war on India. Today’s incident has yet again underscored that this threat to our internal security cannot be belittled.

The culprits behind this crime must be speedily nabbed and punished. Simultaneously, all efforts must be made to ensure peace.
