The terrorist bomb/bullet does not discriminate between religions, caste and creed.it is the innocent people who get killed. it is an act of war against the state. The perpetuator or the persons involved in such acts should be caught and given the most stringent punishment without any plea for mercy. Then only it will act as a deterrent for future acts. Places of religious worship should be guarded round the clock by heavily armed and trained police and paramilitary forces to prevent such violent acts against the state. For this the state and central intelligence agencies should exchange the information for rapid action. Eternal vigilance is the price for liberty and safety of indian citizens against acts of terror.
