CNI Condemns the recent Bomb Blasts

“As citizens of India we have a right to live without fear.  The political parties should stop the blame game and come together keeping aside their differences to find a solution to the terror menace let loose by some outfits in the name of religion in the country”, said the Rev. Dr. Enos Das Pradhan, General Secretary of the Synod of the Church of North India in a statement by the Church of North India.  While condemning the dastardly act of terror and violence he demanded concerted effort and united action from the ruling and the opposition parties both at the centre and the States to deal with the terrorism.

A series of 17 synchronized bombings ripped through Gujarat’s main city of Ahmedabad on 26^th July 2008 evening, a day after terror rocked India’s IT hub Bengaluru (Bangalore), leaving at least 15 people dead and over 100 injured, with the central government sounding a nation-wide alert.  Officially unconfirmed reports put the toll at 26.

India has suffered a wave of bombings in recent years, with targets ranging from mosques and Hindu temples to trains.
