Muslim leaders deplore blasts

Special Correspondent

New Delhi: Several Muslim leaders, condemning the Delhi blasts, said in a statement: "The serial bomb blasts in several parts of Delhi is highly deplorable and an act of frustrated minds that needs to be nailed down at the earliest. The timing of the blasts shows the desperation of the terrorists to disturb peace and the festive season prevailing in the country and is a crime against all Indians on the eve of Diwali and Eid. The loss of innocent life, due to the inhuman acts of the terrorist mindset, reminds us to unite at this hour of grief and take a pledge to fight the terrorists, maintain harmony and defeat the nefarious designs of the terrorists by maintaining peace at all cost. We express our deep sympathies and condolences to the bereaved families and call upon the authorities to apprehend the culprits at the earliest."

The statement was signed by Navaid Hamid, member, National Integration Council and general secretary, Movement for Empowerment of Muslim Indians; Syed Shahabuddin, president, All India Muslim Majlis-e-Mushawarat; Maulana Shafi Moonis, vice-president, Jamat-i-Islami; and Hind K.M. Arifuddin, editor, Hamara Awam, Hyderabad
