Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi on Saturday
said there is one mastermind terrorist organization or nation triggering the
blasts in different parts of the country.
Speaking to media after reviewing security
at the city police headquarters here, Modi said the common pattern of all
the blasts in the country was an indication that one terrorist organization
or nation was behind them.
Modi said, "Desh ke dushmano ne aj Gandhi
ke dharti to rakt ranjit kar diya hai (Enemies of the country have spilled
blood in the land of Mahatma Gandhi). I have told all these things to the
Prime Minister and Home Minister."
Asserting that these blasts would not deter
Gujarat from the path of progress, he said terrorists would not succeed in
their plans.
"Terrorists are waging a war against
India. We should be prepared for a long battle against terrorism", he
said adding that killing innocent people is a crime against humanity.
Asking people to maintain peace, Modi said
Gujarat will track down the terrorists and bring them to justice.
