Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and Congress chief Sonia Gandhi on Thursday tried to soothe a wounded Mumbai, meeting the injured in hospitals and asking the still clueless investigators to pursue relentlessly those behind the serial blasts.
Singh held a meeting with Maharashtra Chief Minister Prithviraj Chavan and Congress MPs and, along with Gandhi, met the wounded survivors at Saifee Hospital and the state-run J.J. Hospital.
The PM expressed solidarity with the people on a rain-soaked Thursday as the weary metropolis picked up the pieces. A statement from the PMO said: "Cannot find words to condemn the barbaric acts of terror that resulted in the senseless killing and injuring of innocent people I share their pain, anguish and anger."
"Now the task is to find out the culprits," the PM said as he vowed that those responsible for the killing of 18 people in the serial blasts would be tracked down and prosecuted.
