The frustration over the increasing frequency of terror attacks and the country’s inability to counter them was echoed across posts on blogs. “What will be the latest excuse by our home minster for his incapability? What will be the statement from our PM for his weakness in handling the terrorist? Congress is worried about his vote bank in one particular community so they will not act even though somebody will come and hit the very root of our identity. What worse than an attack at the very backbone of the financial capital of a nation who dream of becoming a financial super power. Who will come to do business in a country where the 5 star-hotel is attacked and taken hostage? Are we living in Pakistan or Afghanistan where a loaded truck of RD-X blown up a hotel? What are you thinking Mr. Singh? Are you waiting for ur ally Mr. Amar Singh to announce 10 lakh each to the family member of terrorist killed in today’s blast? Are you going to provide legal aid to terrorist suspects? Are you planning to place an commission to investigate if Mr. Karkare was killed by ATS itself and terrorist were innocent? Shame on these Indian politicians!!”, another furious blogger keyed in.
