Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde updates parliament on Hyderabad terror attack: highlights

• This is a very routine statement from Home Minister
• Just recap what happened and tell us what compensation has been announced
• We don't want to assign blame, we should all fight terror together
• But we can only do that if we have the same approach
• And we don't seem to have that
• You said that state governments were updated about a possible terror strike
• You took nine years to hang Afzal Guru (convicted for his role in parliament attack)
• After centre's alert on possible terror strike, did you try to help the state government stop the attack?
• What did you do to assist the state government?
• An MP from Hyderabad is related to someone who made deeply provocative statements lately....is this strike triggered by that speech?
• Can this house today also fix the ex-gratia payment made in these cases? Different amounts are paid in ompensation, that needs to be uniform

Venkaiah Naidu, BJP leader:

• You have not done any favour to us
• The incident happened at 7 yesterday evening. The home minister could have gone then and been available to the house
• This is that handiwork of our neighbour
• In Pakistan, Hafiz Saeed and others have held a meeting and said they will take revenge against the hanging of Afzal Guru
• Also I have a statement of Delhi Police from October that a recce was conducted in DilsukhNagar in Hyderabad
• What else do you need? What are the steps the government has taken?
• The Home Minister's statement has no concrete road map to fight terrorism
