Delhi Blast Cautions India About Internal-External Terror Nexus
India attributes the blast killing 12 near Red Fort to Pakistan-based terror groups and holds urgent security meetings to ensure swift justice, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said.
- On Monday evening, a powerful explosion ripped through a slow-moving Hyundai i20 near Lal Quila Metro Station, killing 12; the Indian government declared it a terror attack on Wednesday, and Prime Minister Narendra Modi vowed severe consequences.
- Preliminary probes show links to Lashkar-e-Taiba and Jaish-e-Mohammed, while Pakistan's government convened a meeting with Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and President Asif Ali Zardari amid reports of a 'state of war' by several Pakistani cabinet members.
- The Cabinet Committee on Security convened to review the situation ahead of the Cabinet meeting at the Prime Minister's residence, where key ministers condemned the attack, ordered an urgent probe, and the Union Cabinet observed a two-minute silence.
- Major Opposition figures largely avoided visiting the Lok Nayak Jai Prakash Narayan hospital, drawing criticism as only Aam Aadmi Party and Delhi unit of the Congress sent delegations, while Sanjay Singh, AAP national spokesperson, urged swift investigations.
- Officials warned the incident has intensified tensions that began in May and raised border concerns, recalling Operation Sindoor and Prime Minister Narendra Modi's rhetoric this year about a new normal on terrorism.
