Lambasting Congress for alleged failure and inaction against terrorism, Shiv Sena Executive President Uddhav Thackeray today said instead of just saluting the resilient spirit of Mumbaikars, the Government should see to it that innocent people don't suffer.

"The (Congress) rulers salute Mumbai's spirit and then easily forget everything. Why should innocent people suffer? Who will take responsibility (of the attack)? They (Government) should be taken to task," Uddhav told reporters outside J J Hospital where he had gone to visit some of the victims of yesterday's serial bomb blasts.

Asked about the responsibility of the Centre and intelligence agencies, an angry Uddhav said, "This is happening way too often...Is there a Government at the Centre? Every two to three years the city gets attacked by terrorists." After seeing the wounded persons, the Sena leader said, "So many injured... some lost their legs and hands..what is their fault?"

Uddhav had earlier also visited the blast victims admitted at KEM Hospital in central Mumbai.

At least 21 people were killed and 141 injured in three blasts that rocked Mumbai last evening.
