New Delhi: After a night of terror in Mumbai where terrorists targeted 10 places gunning down over 100 people, Delhi woke up with terrifying memories of the recent blasts in the capital. The heat generated by the ongoing elections has now given way to fear and caution.
With newspaper headlines screaming with news of the attacks and television channels showing minute by minute coverage of the encounter between terrorists and security personnel along with live footage, people began calling up friends and relatives based in the financial capital.
"Please now stop all the regional and religion differences. I am not concerned about which party wins. But will they be able to give us security? These politicians make such a lot of hue and cry if their 'Z' security cordon is withdrawn. Where is the security to the common man?" asks a retired government official Ramsh Lal.
Till yesterday, the talk on the street revolved around the upcoming elections. The moods debating and comparing various candidates today changed to somber with almost everybody talking about the Mumbai attack.
"We are very sure that despite attacks like this the situation is not going to change with all the political parties blaming each other for the security lapses. We need a man with iron face to improve situations," says Rajesh Kumar, a private bank employee while traveling in the city's metro train.
