SUCI condemns dastardly act of indiscriminate firing and explosions in 
Mumbai and indicts government for abject failure in protecting life and 
property of people

Shri Nihar Mukherjee, General Secretary, SUCI, in course of a statement 
issued today vehemently condemned the diabolic act of near-simultaneous 
indiscriminate grenade and bullet attack at seven landmark spots including 
hospitals and busy thoroughfares of Mumbai on 26 November 2008 in which the 
death toll reported so far has crossed 100 and the number of injured has 
touched 400. Whosoever has indulged in such a brutal strike resulting in 
death of innocent unarmed people for whatsoever a cause must bear in mind 
that it is bound to have dire consequences and boomerang effect, reminded 
Shri Mukherjee. Continuing further, Shri Mukherjee urged upon all concerned 
to realize that even ventilation of a just cause is circumscribed by 
adoption of right and appropriate course of action which precludes mindless 
violence and killing of common people. He, therefore, called upon all 
concerned to shun inappropriate, unjust and self-defeating means to achieve 
their ends. Strongly indicting the central and state governments, Shri 
Mukherjee added that this wanton killing of people in the very heartland of 
the commercial capital of the country which has already been victim of at 
least twenty five such dastardly violence shows how criminally callous and 
irresponsible they are towards protecting the life and property of the 
common citizens despite boasting of having a well-knit intelligence system 
and most sophisticated armed cops and military. Strongly criticizing the 
governments, Shri Mukherjee stated that while they had no clue of such a 
large scale operation being perpetrated by a highly organized group of 
people, they have now suddenly found that hundreds of suspect elements had 
sneaked into the country by sea. This, he said, is nothing but a lame excuse 
to shield its inaction and abject failure in discharging its minimal 
obligation to the people who are dying like cats and dogs in such serial 
blasts and cowardly acts. Shri Mukherjee demanded of the government to 
immediately take necessary measures to stop such incidents of mindless 
killing and violence, use its intelligence and police-military to identify, 
nab and produce before the people those responsible for this heinous crime 
and restore confidence of the people now in a state of total helplessness 
and insecurity. Expressing heart-felt condolence and deep sympathy for those 
having lost their lives and sustained grievous injuries, he demanded 
adequate compensation to all the victims as well as free proper medical 
assistance to the injured.
