Terrorists New Attack on Communal Harmony in India

Terrorists New Attack on Communal Harmony in India

By Tanveer Jafri

On the evening of last August 25, the terrorists again succeeded in spreading terror in the ancient & historical city of South India, Hyderabad, the capital of a prosperous state Andhra Pradesh. 45 innocent persons were killed because of the two bomb blasts there. About 50 persons were badly injured in this incident. It seems that these blasts were planned at the time of completion of 100 days of the bomb blast done on May 18, on Mecca Mosque of Hyderabad. The terrorists had well planned these blasts where 11 persons had lost their lives. On August 25, an incident took place at a place named Lumbini Park where some tourists & local citizens were enjoying a Laser Show. During the show the incident took place in that hall. 10 persons were killed in this fresh blast. At the same time another incident happened when a blast took place at famous Gokul Chat Bhandar of Hyderabad. Thirty persons lost their lives on the spot in this blast. At the same moment, besides these two bomb blasts, the security persons searched explosives from other sixteen places in the city of Hyderabad, which were planned to be exploded & could have caused even more destruction.

This is the second big blow by the terrorists in Hyderabad, the city which is an example of communal harmony. Since 1998, the terrorist activities are going on in South India but these continuous incidents show now terrorists are in search of striking at the pleasant atmosphere of communal harmony prevalent in South India. This incident has once again compelled all the Indians & the lovers of humanity & the people of Hyderabad & South India to think that for how long these handful of terrorist will go on with their wicked activities & thus go on killing the innocent people? These hired terrorists are unable to understand that these types of mischievous actions wouldn't be able to spoil the pleasant communal atmosphere of India, a vast country. Specially a city as Hyderabad which is known as example of communal harmony, can't allow fulfilling the nefarious designs of the terrorists.

Before that in the blast that took place on May 18, in Mecca Mosque of Hyderabad, the persons who were killed there were Namazies i.e. the persons who had gathered there to pay Friday prayer in Mecca Mosque. By this blast the terrorists wanted to draw attention of the Muslims of India to another side. They tried to arouse sorrow & anger among the Muslims of India so that they could play a negative role to destroy the communal harmony in India. But the people of Hyderabad specially the Muslims lost no time to understand the wicked motives of the terrorists that it was the work of professional terrorists who aim at either on Sankatmochan Temple or Akshardham Temple. The peace loving people of Hyderabad immediately understand that the powers who had worked to destroy the piousness of the graveyard of Malegaon have also tried to unholy the Mecca Mosque.

Now these terrorists have very well understood in their minds that all their efforts to spoil the communal harmony have failed because of the communal unity of the country so now instead of aiming at the religious places & blasting at the religious places they may have prepared a policy of doing blasts at the crowded places. The blasts at the two places in Hyderabad have caused the death of both the communities, the Hindus & the Muslims. That also included the women & the children.

On reacting upon this incident, the President of India, Mrs. Pratibha Patil has expressed that these blasts have been done to disturb the peace of the city. The Chief Minister of Andhra Pradesh has also called this incident a terrorist incident & appealed to the common people of the state to maintain peace in the state. The state is on Red Alert after this incident. After this incident, there arises a question, why did the terrorist selected again this city of Hyderabad for their activity? Is there a wicked try to disturb the communal harmony of the city or any other conspiracy behind it? Some experts are of the view that spoiling the pleasant atmosphere of communal harmony is a motive of the terrorists & there is another deep conspiracy behind it. With such type of fearful atmosphere the anti-India powers want to fill the minds of foreign investors with fear, who are planning to invest their capital in the South India. It is well known that at present the centres of revolution of information & technology in South India are the twin cities of Hyderabad & Bangalore. At these two places, the local & foreign investors are investing huge amounts in Information & Technology industries. By these blasts, the terrorists want to frighten the investors who are searching the possibilities of successful trade in South India.

Some people are of the views that some Satanic powers in the name of Islam who indulge in terrorist activities want that there should be open enmity between the Hindus & the Muslims. Just as some of the persons having the Hinduism thoughts nurture these thoughts. But the peace loving Indian people have understood the desires of the powers who want to spread communal hatred. Most of the people of India don't want to go with the religious feelings of hatred but they want to adopt the path of peace. Many incidents of innocent killings by the terrorists have happened in this country. These incidents took place in the temples in the Mosques, in Markets, in parks & at other public places. But the communal harmony in this country remained unaffected. Now these terrorists want to centralize their activities on the Southern India so that economy of India & the investment of capital in India can be affected.

All of Indians have a duty to futile the efforts of the terrorists. Our unity strikes the will of the terrorists who kill many innocent persons by their bomb blasts. We need to face the blows of the terrorists by our unity & tolerance so that they are never successful.
