Popular Yoga guru Baba Ramdev on Monday questioned the existing justice system that allows even dreaded terrorists like Afzal Guru to delay punishment for a long time due to system's loopholes. Suggesting the existing justic system needs improvement, Ramdev said: "This is our country's misfortune that about 300 people have been given death sentence out of which most of them are brutal terrorists. Now Kasab is a part of it, Afzal Guru is already a part of it and around 150 persons have submitted their applications for pardon and many more will do so. So where is the justice done? So there is a lot that has to be done which is the reason why we have formed the political outfit, Bharat Swabhiman." He also said that he is devoting his main time for villages' uplift. "During day time I personally visit eight to 10 villages. I am devoting 70 to 80 percent of my time to villages and the aim of this is to awaken the villages of India," said Baba Ramdev on the sidelines of a function at Hyderabad. Sources in the Union Home Ministry on Monday feared that the casualties of the IED blast in Chhattisgarh's Dantewada is likely to go high as the rescue and relief operations have been hampered due to bad light.

The bus was on its way from Dantewada to Sukma when the incident took place near Chingawaram, over nine kilometers from Sukma. The bus-CG17 SS 9295 was carrying 20 special police officers (SPO) and over 30 civilians.The SPOs were on their way to participate in a special recruitment drive. The latest blast incident has taken place a day after the Maoists called for a 48 hour shutdown in five states-Chhattisgarh, Bihar, Jharkhand, West Bengal and Madhya Pradesh. The sources said the attack might have been a pre -planned one. Reportedly, the Maoists also fired on the bus after the blast to ensure that nobody stays alive.
