            Now, the hon. Leader of the Opposition.

SHRI L.K. ADVANI (GANDHINAGAR): So far as the discussion on this particular statement is concerned, my other colleagues will participate.  I am merely recalling what I had said on Friday.  It was on Friday afternoon that these blasts took place in three different places in Uttar Pradesh, and I had an occasion to raise this matter when the Home Minister was here because he had come here to give preliminary information about the blasts that had taken place.  I had said that it was not merely these three blasts in Uttar Pradesh, about which a statement needed to be made.  Over a period of time, we had seen a set pattern in the terrorist attacks taking place, and that set pattern was that almost always there were a series of blasts. And whether it was in Delhi or in the local trains in Mumbai or Hyderabad, it was not one single blast took place but a number of blasts took place.  I had also pointed out on that day that in those cases it was in one place but   * Not recorded this time it was in Uttar Pradesh, where blasts had taken place at three different places, and in this case the blasts had taken place in the courts. The planning for this must have gone over a period of time.  The planning and its execution are not that simple where only someone had gone and planted it.  Therefore, I had requested the hon. Home Minister on that day to make a statement on the action taken by the Government till now and the status of the cases that had been instituted, and also requested him to tell how many had been arrested in these blasts.  I had requested him to make a statement giving the status of all the cases that had taken place in the last two years. The hon. Home Minister on that day said that he would like to come to the House with all this information.  But today, he has confined himself to the three blasts that had taken place in Uttar Pradesh. 

            I would once again repeat that the House should be informed as to what had happened in all the cases in the last two years. … (Interruptions)

MR. SPEAKER: I believe, we have already agreed that we shall have a discussion on internal security in this Session itself.
