All religious fundamentalists must be removed from the Democratic fabric of our country
The incident of Bardhaman blast shook the whole country and made our stand stronger to fight against all religious fundamentalists which are targeted to destroy the Democratic fabric of our country.
We appeal and believe the people, the press and security persons will act together and unitedly to expose every grains of the soil where these religious fundamentalists spreaded their roots.
Unfortunately there are several ambiguity and contradictions are coming in front of the people
about the negligence of security responsibility, political nexus with the banned terrorists, delay and hesitations on taking appropriate legal procedures. These are all same dangerous to curb the democratic fabric of the country along with the activities of religious fundamentalists terror tactics. Certain facts are here..

Bangladesh’s reaction
Expressing concern over the incident, Bangladesh’s junior Home Minister Asaduzzaman Khan told The Hindu over phone: “We have good relations with India. We share all information on sensitive issues. We would like the Indian Government to do the same in this case.” The Minister said the Government of Bangladesh has “not allowed” its territory to be used for anti-Indian activities. “We have dismantled several camps along the border which were involved in such activities,” Mr. Khan said.
