The political debate has intensified over the origins of the horrific car blast near the Red Fort in New Delhi, which killed 13 people and injured more than 20. After PDP leader Mehbooba Mufti's comments, senior Congress leader Hussain Dalbhai has made explosive comments. He claimed that the blast could be a 'reaction to the injustice going on in Jammu and Kashmir'.

Earlier, Mehbooba Mufti's comments had caused a political storm. She directly said that the Red Fort blast in Delhi could be a result of the repression and injustice in Jammu and Kashmir. People are bursting with anger due to the ongoing repression, injustice and deprivation of political rights there. The New Delhi blast could be a reaction to that injustice,' NDTV reported.

On the evening of November 10, a powerful explosion took place in a car parked at a red signal near the Red Fort. The incident took place just a day before the Bihar assembly election results were announced, which has raised many questions in the political arena.

Hussain Dalbhai said, "Why did such a blast happen during the election? This should also be investigated. This attack could be a reaction to the injustice going on in Jammu and Kashmir."

The BJP reacted strongly as tensions rose in the political arena around Hussain Dalbhai's comments. BJP spokesperson Pradeep Bhandari called Dalbhai's statement "pure vote bank politics."

Bhandari said, "When the Congress was in power, they denied Pakistan's involvement in the Mumbai attacks and blamed the RSS. They are still on the same path. They always make such incoherent comments to please the vote bank."

Amidst this controversy, the issue of Congress leader and former Home Minister P. Chidambaram's 'home-grown terrorist' came up. A few days ago, he asked in a post - 'How does a situation arise that pushes Indian citizens - even educated people - to the path of terrorism?'

He claimed that there are two types of terrorists in India - 1. Foreign-trained infiltrators, 2. Domestic or home-grown terrorists. According to him, the government's silence proves that they know about the matter, but do not want to admit it publicly.

Meanwhile, investigative agencies are still investigating the source of the explosion, the explosives used and the motive of the attack. Although tensions have increased due to conflicting comments in political circles, no government agency has yet officially said anything about the primary cause of the attack.
