Well its just even 36 hours since the extremist who set the Samjhauta express on fire, resulting in immediate death of 66 passenger. The media from from both the communities already have posted on there individual newspaper saying its the handiwork of Islamic jehadis, and there our Pakistani media members are quoting that its the hand of Hindu extremist naming Shivsena as the one among the group which always wanted to avoid the railway service between Atari and Delhi. Well it just wasn't only the editorial section that slinged blame on each other's extremist outfit that was responsible for the blast. But its also the minister people of position and power are blaming irresponsibly each other. The role of media is only to report the incident, rather than quote people who just use media for there own benefit so as to hog the limelight.
But what has been observed during this incident is unlike previous year mumbai railways blast, where the blame game was very high. There has been lot of restrain shown by both the party from across the border by not unnecessarily putting blame on each other. This in fact is a clear indication of the resolve of the two nations to go ahead with peace process. Its as easy as sleeping to sit and condemn the activity of the terrorist, and this is what the media does and tries to glorify rather abhor the terrorist. Always during such crisis situation the media should take extra care not to pour abuse as this will always instigate avalanche of blame from people across the borders. Well as the the two nation tries to forget it dreadful past and walk towards path of normalization. The Politicians presently have issued very mature statement not blaming each other and thereby showing greater resolve towards peace process. Because its very important to realize that such incidents and misappropriate statement made by politicians highlighted by media sour the existing peace process cause mistrust and suspicion between nations.
So I hope the media and Politicians across the borders avoid the usual blame-game and work for the betterment of cordial relationship between the 2 neighbours.

Manu, please take some lessons in English grammar and writing--and till such time you do so, please use your mother-tongue. It's (notice the apostrophe)bloody painful to read your fractured stuff.
Hi anonymous
Well thanks for the constructive comments you have poured in. I'll take the oppurtunity to improve upon the mistake that creeps in the article.
Good--Now I can rest in peace---I must say you write with the spirit and fervour of a true citizen---we don't see many of such souls these days.
Good for you.
blame-game is a part of our lives. especially, politicians, they find it really easy to do this. it is good to note that the two nations have restrained themselves, in their verbal war. and it is also the responsiblity of the visual media to limit themselves in senstive issues like this. they usually blow up any situation out-of-proportion.
