Ahmedabad (Gujarat): PM Narendra Modi on Monday said he won’t spare the perpetrators of the 2008 Ahmedabad bombings saying they would be brought out from even the deepest of hell. Addressing a rally in his home state, PM said he visited the civil hospital today and it brought back the grim memories of those injured and killed in the 2008 bomb blasts that ripped the city. “Main aapko kehna chahunga, saatve pataal mein bhi honge unko(terrorists) main chhodne wala nahi hoon, ”drawing an applause from the spectators. Fifty-six people were killed and over 200 people were injured in the 21 blasts across the city on July 26, 2008. He lashed out at the opposition for “maligning India's armed forces and weakening their morale”. "What our opposition leaders say become headlines in Pakistan newspaper today," Modi said. In a veiled reference to India's air strike in Pakistan, Modi said, "If one work gets over, our government doesn't sleep, but gets ready for another." "We won't lag behind when it comes to taking big and bitter decisions," he said.
