The purpose of terrorism is not war but to cripple a society with fear. The aim is to spread panic, divide the society, derail the economic growth of the country and create lawlessness at every level. If we want to preserve and nurture the sovereignty of this nation, these elements should be dealt with an iron hand and a steely long-term resolve. There are larger, long-term solutions– more equal distribution of education, economic opportunities, wealth and welfare on all levels. For now, it is of utmost importance to stand together as a nation beyond all narrow divides of religion, caste, creed or political affiliations and to support our security forces at all levels to perform their duties. Our deepest condolences & blessings to all bereaved & injured. -Sg
