Its Cyberabad blast and not Hyderabad, as some of our so called national media is going gung-ho describing the twin blasts that rocked Andhra Pradesh on Thursday evening, February 21, 2013. Cyberabad is in Raga Reddy district and adjoining Hyderabad.
The ignorance of our national media is profound in this case. If similar blast had have happened in Gurgoan or Noida, can the same media have called it a Delhi blast?
Leave that and come to second point, the perpetrators of the crime is already been found by the media that’s asking the investigative agencies not to waste time as they have gone through the motion of ‘Eureka’ and have discovered about the culprit of the crime.
Many TV channels are blaming the blaming the blast on Afzal Guru and believe me it could be true. One wise friend of mine went on to say that Guru had taken the remote device with him and has detonated it from wherever he is now.
Another one added some spice to it, saying, some of our security agency guys are planning to visit Guru, but not sure which route to take to reach him Obviously they may not take the gallows route, as it’s only meant for the angles, and they are no angles. But whatever way they go, their goal is to get the remote from the dreaded terrorist and avoid further damage.

Another wise from the same pack of cards, has spun another story saying, our Home Minister has sought help of the top hero of South, whose latest movie has created a buzz on the same subjected and requested him to do all his heroics to get the remote from the departed terrorist.
Whatever one may say, the development surrounding the twin blast in Cyberabad is happening at a frantic pace. Each mouth has a story to tell. It’s left to the individual to believe it scoff off.
I remember reading a write up on Hyderabad’s Mecca Masjid blast some time back. It blamed HUJI of Bangladesh for triggering the blast through the remote devise from that country. The reportage about it gave a convincing description how terror attack could be executed from such a far of places.
At that time I was wondering about the veracity of such report and how it was allowed to be published. I guess the masses had accepted it what was told to them about the culprits and that’s the end to it. After many years the facts have changed about that blast and now that story looks to be a bundle of lies meant soothing the nerves.
So if we go by the logic of HUJI from Bangladesh being the perpetrators of the crime, then the Cyberabad blasts can well be blamed on Afzal Guru to sooth the same nerves.
If HUJI story could be peddled by the media very convincingly at that time, why can’t Afzal’s boggy drummed up this time?
So Kai Po Che – Its Afzal ! Are you joking, no I am serious! Well every one has the right to kite fly ideas and that’s what I am doing right now.
