And the statement from the main opposition party, the BJP.

''The nation needs to be united, the political parties need to get united. The moment that happens, we will be capable of fighting terror," Sushma  Swaraj said in the Lok Sabha.

Asserting that terrorists have no religion, Sushma said: "Terrorists only follow the code of terrorism. We need to be united against terrorism." She further said that this is not the moment to lay blame, but to work together to combat terrorism.

"However, we need to have a common sentiment against terror. My regret is that there''s no common line of thought on tackling terrorism," she said. She further said that the BJP would wait till the return of the Home Minister from Hyderabad and for his statement before saying anything more on the topic.
