The blast in front of state head office of BJP in Bangalore is highly condemnable. It shows the courage of the blasters who dared penetrate into any part of the country. But it is media again that put the blame on Indian Mujahideen even before the investigation started. A “respectable” daily, on 18 April quoted ananonymous officer at the Intelligence Bureau saying that the IM is suspected to have carried the blast. I failed to understand how an intelligence officer can be so much prejudiced. Some days earlier, an RSS worker was killed in Kerala while carrying explosives and there are dozens of such cases where active Hindutva activists have been found involved in such cases. Who knows that they, themselves, have carried out the blast to garner sympathy of others as well as making an issue out of it as the party is running issueless nowadays?
