The police's suspicion that the Coimbatore car blast was aimed at communal violence and had its roots in Kerala should be taken seriously. The police found that the person who died in a car explosion in front of the Kottai Eswaran temple near the Coimbatore Town Hall around 5 am on Sunday was an activist of a terrorist organization. Five people have been arrested in the case and UAPA has been charged against them. The probe team has extended its investigation to the terrorist organization Al Ummah. Some of the recent actions of the central government have been a heavy blow to some people who continue to think of preventing progress and development by dividing and exploiting society through terrorism. It is suspected that some people had planned the Coimbatore blast as a reaction against the Centre's measures. Fortunately, the conspirators were not able to cause much damage as they intended.
An investigation is underway in Kerala after the police found that some of the suspects behind the blast had also come to the state. It is the duty of the government and the police here to prove that Kerala is not a place where terrorists get any kind of support. We cannot simply assume that terrorists have not infiltrated Kerala as vendors of cloth and old goods. Hence a strong investigation is required. The intelligence department had earlier reported that some members of the state police force were associated with some organizations that called for subversive activities. Therefore, it is necessary for the Home Department to be more cautious while forming the investigation team related to this. Due to the extensive and strong presence of the Intelligence Service across India, terrorist-planned blasts have not been carried out for a long time. However, the explosion in Coimbatore has raised concern among everyone. Hence, if the accused in the Coimbatore case have received any help from Kerala, it should be found out. Those who helped the accused should be brought to justice.
