Salaam Mumbai!
“DURING my trip to Mumbai, I saw firsthand the strength and resilience of the Indian people, and I have no doubt that India will overcome these deplorable terrorist attacks”, said President Obama reacting to the terrorist attack on Mumbai yesterday.
Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton says it is more important now than ever to show solidarity with India in its fight against terrorism and she will not cancel her planned trip to India next week, following bomb attacks in Mumbai.
UK's Guardian reported, “ In Mumbai, haphazard security precautions are still in place, but the fear inspired by the November 2008 killings has passed. Whoever is the culprit behind these new attacks, it will take much more to shake this vast metropolis.”
Technology has played its role in helping the needy. Within minutes websites were opened and people were googling and twittering with help. Offerings included:
++ Can help; blood A+VE, O+ve, place to stay, food.
++ Can give my flight pass to anyone wanting to travel to Mumbai.
++ If you have friend and relative in USA and cant get to them on phone, tweet me and I will call them up
++ Can offer people a lift and a place to stay.
++ Anything
++ Place to stay; willing to help in any other way.
Terrorism anywhere is a threat to peace everywhere.
