Cong should not find scapegoats,says Advani

The BJP veteran pointed out that Union Home Minister P Chidambaram himself had absolved Maharashtra Home Minister R R Patil of any blame. Chidambaram,he said,had asserted that there had been no intelligence failure,which meant that the local police set-up was not at fault.

In fact,Advani utilised the controversy to target the UPA government. He said neither the Maharashtra Chief Minister nor the Home Minister could be blamed for the attack. It is New Delhi that is squarely responsible. Both the Prime Minister and the Congress president must realise that unless the Government of Indias terror policy changes radically,such incidents will continue to recur, he wrote.
