This was so in the recent Hyderabad blast episode too. This indirectly exonerates all perpetrators who are basically Indians. This should be discouraged. The finger must point towards the Indian culprits who have a secessionist mindset. There is no reason to tell the public that these two neighboring countries are our enemies. The more dangerous enemy is the one who is within our own country. It is this enemy who invited the neighboring hawks. Neither a Pakistan nor a Bangladesh plot would become operational and much less likely succeed, if no Indian citizen directly or indirectly supports such a plot. Let us remind ourselves that the plots are hatched in our own land by those driven by fundamentalist ideology. It is time we called a spade a spade.
