Update 6: 15 confirmed dead and over a 100 injured officially.
Update 7: All mobile networks in Delhi have been jammed. This might be because of fears that mobile SIM cards could have been used to trigger the blasts. Report of unexploded bomb being found near India Gate.
5 blasts. These are certainly criminally motivated.
I’m so tempted to say it has something to do with the latest developments in the nuke deal...
Terrorism have gripped the whole country. Nobody is safe anywhere.
I really hope that it doesn’t get linked with Nuclear deal. We have already seen and heard a lot in regard to Nuclear deal.
There’s the nuke deal (the latest being that the US can withdraw the deal if India does a blast and buys nuclear armaments somewhere else and not from the US) AND, of course, the Muslims who are demanding self-determination and self-rule.
Really, before the very recent past, it is unimaginable that terrorism will be present in India.
