Bodhgaya: Nab Culprits, Beef
up Security
The
Polit Bureau of the Communist Party of
THE
Polit Bureau of the CPI(M)
strongly condemns the bomb blasts in Bodhgaya, a venerated
place of worship for
millions of believers across the world. It is fortunate that
no serious damage
was done to the Mahabodhi temple and the Bodhi tree, although
it is a matter of
serious concern that some monks suffered injuries.
No
effort should be spared to
identify and nab the culprits responsible for this heinous
crime. It is also
necessary to inquire how the criminals could have access to
the area which was
supposedly under security cover, with police posted on the
premises. Once again
the issue of better and sustained coordination between the
centre and state governments
comes to the forefront as does that of the capacity of
intelligence agencies.
On both fronts the government has to take urgent steps.
