Blasting away devotees on Dussehera, using powerful RDX explosives
-------------------------------------
TMC is already under police scanner for multi billion rupee Shardha Scam where TMC MP Ahmed Hasan Imran was found to be financier of Bangladeshi terrorist outfit Jamat-e-Islami.
Last month, Al-Qaeda had warned of 'jihad' in India. A warning which Indians took very lightly.
Let's enjoy the borrowed peace while it lasts.
