New Delhi: Home Minister Sushil Kumar Shinde is making a statement in Parliament on the two bomb blasts in Hyderabad's Dilsukhnagar area.
Highlights of Mr Shinde's statement:
Highlights of Mr Shinde's statement:
- A total of 16 persons died and 117 injured of which 4 are critical
- Two cases have been registered
- NIA will investigate the case in conjunction with the police
- Today I reviewed the situation with Governor, CM, Chief of police and other senior officers
- Honorouble PM has announced ex-gratia of 6 lakhs to deceased
- Situation is under control, I extend my heartfelt condolences to bereaved families
- Govt committed to fighting terrorSushma Swaraj, Leader of the Opposition:
- 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
