The new Government of Nerendra Modi, whose track record in the state of Gujarat promises the unleashing of India's economic potential, means the country is fully open to business. With a huge Muslim population India remains vulnerable to Islamic retrogression, social division and terrorism.
Jan. 2, 2015 A 'bomb' boat with crew that didn't look like fishermen: Coast Guard Asserts vessel was set on fire by its crew members, causing it to explode and later sink.
UPDATE: Indian Coast Guard (ICG) today said suspicions were raised about the identity of crew of the explosives-laden boat intercepted by them, as they did not resemble fishermen from their dressing style and carried no nets. ICG said they followed the standard operating procedure (SOP) while intercepting the hostile boat, which as intelligence input suggested, had set sail from the port city of Karachi from Pakistan for some "illicit transaction". The maritime law enforcement agency reiterated that the vessel was set on fire by its crew members, causing it to explode and later sink. The incident took place about 365 km off the coast of Porbander in the Arabian Sea on the intervening night of December 31 and January 1 after a hot pursuit by Coast Guard. (Source) A second boat may have been involved, apart from the one that was blown up. The Government of Pakistan is rejecting the allegations and speaks of slander.
