Train to Pakistan

World slams attack on 'Friendship Train'

Islamabad: Condemning as "mindless acts of violence" the deadly blasts in the Samjhauta Express near Panipat that killed 67 passengers, mostly Pakistanis, world leaders on Monday said such terror strikes should not be allowed to derail the Indo-Pak peace process. Full coverage: Samjhauta Express blast | Helpline numbers Describing the dead-of-the-night attack as "horrendous", Pakistan said that it would not allow wanton acts of terrorism to sabotage the peace process with India. "We it will not allow elements which want to sabotage the ongoing peace process and succeed in their nefarious designs," Musharraf said in a statement. Musharraf underscored the need for the leadership of Pakistan and India to move forward undeterred in the quest for dispute resolution and lasting peace in the region and expressed profound shock over the tragic loss of lives in the firebombing of the train. Also expressing "profound grief" over the terrorist strike, Chinese Foreign Minister Li Zhaoxing sent his condolences to External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee. Li, who was in India last week on an official visit, sent a message to Mukherjee expressing profound grief and sincere condolences over the tragic loss of lives. The European Union urged India and Pakistan to continue their peace dialogue despite the terrorist strike. A statement issued by the German presidency of the EU said the attack was an act of "mindless violence clearly intended to disrupt the process of rapprochement between Pakistan and India." "The presidency of the European Union calls upon all parties in India and Pakistan to oppose further acts of violence," the statement said.

What do you think about this incident?

It is very very sad that such type of things are happening again and again.... it just boils my blood that our govt is doing nothing... How Can terrorists bring the bombs and stuff everytime without the notice of the authorities... How, How? and after such incidents happened police says that this was planned for last few months and they had a dry run in Jan.. oh come on.. and this u find out now.. why didnt you guys come to know this before the bombs exploded.. how come always u find things afterwards... We have really made oursevles a soft target for these terrorists... Our government should really take a hard stand towards terrorism and not just mouth it that we will fight terrorism.. May be they have not heard the proverb.. Actions Speaks Louder Than Words.. They should act on stopping the terrorism once and for all.. nip it in the bud...

So many innocent lives are lost in these terror attacks.. it is really heart wrenching to read and see those stories.. Imagine what the actual victims and their families go through.. and yes I also read abut that family who lost five kids and one year old is still battling for her life.. one moment they were playing and laughing and next they are dead.. and their parents witness this happening.. God Help Them and give them strength.. to come out of this grief but which is very hard to come by..

Do you think it hampers Indo Pak friendship?

It should not hamper. In fact after this incident both governments should come together more strongly and give it back to the terrorist. Terrorism of any kind should not be allowed to grow... It is detrimental to the progress of both the countries....

Do you think its high time Indo Pak realise the importance having much much more coordination?

Yes and not just on paper or words but in action too...

What do you think about this incident?
Its very sad that all people care about is killing each other and winning the elections and just to get what they want they take lives of innocent ppl without realizing how many tears would be shed after each n every person who dies.

Do you think it hampers Indo Pak friendship?
It defintly does. But i feel that it shouldnt bec u really cant blame a whole nation for one man's fault. If one man is wrong, that doesnt mean u send every1 to the jail rite.

Do you think its high timeIndo Pak realise the importance having much much more coordination?
Yes it. They should now how to move ahead without letting these kinds of people discourage them. Bec more ppl want peace. InDo Pak peace would be make loads of ppl happy. Both indians and Pakistanis.

One more attact on our soil, yet another karmic fact of our life as living in India. Another bunch of innocent lives are lost, yet again....oh well.
Yet another opportunity for President Musharraf to decry that we are trying to put in our most sincere efforts for peace but these fundamentalists wouldn't let me.
Yet another opportunity for current congress leaders to rush for appeasing certain community to make sure they are not necessarily targeted for a genuine investigation.
Yet another opportunity for opposition parties to blame current congress government for doing nothing as if during their rule they achieved peace and harmony.
Yet another opportunity for pseudo-seculars to assert that religion doesn't teach killings, it's just few misguided ones who are misrepresenting their religion.

What do you think about this incident?

Like all terrorist attacks on our soil this too is an inhumane act. Now these attacks have become so common that Indians are kind of immune to such news unless someone's own is hurt. I saw media talking more about Saif Khan's chest pain than this attack.

Do you think it hampers Indo Pak friendship?

Where is this invisible friendship? Aren't we all making politically correct statements when we talk about Indo-Pak friendship? These talks are just hogwash which yields futile results.

Do you think its high time Indo Pak realise the importance having much much more coordination?

Peace in the subcontinent is a dream far-fetched at least for now unless both countries realize that these terrorists are not working for anyone's good but their own.

All of you thanks for responding!! I will post my views today!!

What do you think about this incident?

its sad, its tragic........... what more can be said??? humans are going back to the dark ages.

Do you think it hampers Indo Pak friendship?

if there was any friendship, between the governments, then it might not, but it will leave some bad traces behind. putting lives of so many ppl in possible danger, is not the very best idea. but yes they should continue their talks, if they are stopped, the victory will be of the anti peace agencies, which is not good for anyone.

Do you think its high timeIndo Pak realise the importance having much much more coordination?

yes, they should get over with this discussion, which is going on for past 60 years. this year, it will be 60 years. and that is too long for a "peace talk" to go on. so many have lost their life, waiting for the peace to come.

but sometimes i wonder, if the peace actually comes between the two countries, will ppl like the ones who attacked the train, will let the peace stay??

i guess, not, i just hope that not another generation, dies off, with the hope of peace, harmony and freedom in their eyes. and these politicians keep making their votes.

Dear Friends!!

What do you think about this incident?

This is really a tragic incident!! This incident really depicts the manic behaviour of terrorists.If at all their struggle is for the freedom and their goals are pious why did they kill innocent people of both countries!!!

Do you think it hampers Indo Pak friendship?

Yes and No!!! Its difficult to regain the confidence of common man.But its nice to hear that Pak Foriegn minister is very much desperate to continue the peace process,so also Indian Ministries!!

Do you think its high timeIndo Pak realise the importance having much much more coordination?

I feel India and Pakistan should realise the coordination needed.India and Pakistan are very similar in culture,socio economic conditions.They should help each other and develop in all the fields.

Nice to hear that another peace train Thar express is running successfully:
