At least nine people, including children, were killed while scores were injured as a result of the twin blasts, believed to have been carried out by as many suicide bombers. Considering the mass of humanity that gathers at the shrine on Thursday nights, it is a miracle the number of dead was not greater. The attack bore a disturbing resemblance to July’s bombing of Data Darbar in Lahore, which also targeted devotees gathered on a Thursday evening. Though there were incidents of violence in the city, thankfully the situation did not spin out of control.
There are strong suspicions that the TTP is responsible for this latest outrage. The TTP has evolved into a conglomerate that serves as a platform for a number of violent jihadi and virulently sectarian militant groups. As per the militants’ philosophy, attacking anything that falls within their definition of ‘unbelief’ is perfectly kosher: western targets, the Pakistan Army as well as security agencies and Shias top this list. Moderate Sunnis, specifically of the Barelvi persuasion, are recent additions to the list of ‘enemies’.

Now her own party and other allies is opposing the judicial verdict as the verdict has not gone well with Muslims. Problem is not there with common people and common muslims also with the verdict. It's the Congress and it's allies who wants to create problem again and gain political mileage out of it. Nobody is taking words of Sonia also in her party or what? Congress, grow up...think to solve other bigger issues like price rise, inflation, CWG. If u can not, at least allow the people of country to live in peace. As the verdict is out by law, now the bury the age old matter and try to move ahead or else one day your party will be wiped out from this land.
If India and Pakistan could not live as good neighbours in the last 63 years, the temple and mask can not live peacefully either. The hindus should get all the 100% land in Ayodhya.
