"We strongly condemn these cowardly terrorist attacks, killings and injuring innocent people. We heartily sympathise with the families of dead and injured. This is an attempt by anti-national forces to create instability in India.
The central government rising above power politics should deal with the issue of terrorism seriously and strongly." says Dr ManMohan Vaidya, RSS Akhil Bharataiya Prachar Pramukh in Bangalore.
