Every time we can not blame police department or failure of intelligence as it is not possible to control the number of people due to migrants,Raj said.

“I trust the Mumbai Police but the influx is so much that there will be intelligence failure and such type of terror attacks would keep happening,” he said.

“Is any crime possible without the help of local people? (terrorist) Kasab knows Taj hotel kitchen but you and me do not,” Raj said.

Demanding that a combing operation be undertaken in Mumbai to flush out those staying illegally,the MNS chief said,”take help of military if needed”.
