The Spin
Narrative A
This car explosion resembles a catastrophic security failure that demands immediate accountability. Government authorities failed to protect citizens in a high-security area that should have been impenetrable. A thorough investigation must expose those responsible for this deadly lapse in protecting innocent lives.
Narrative B
This blast deliberately targeted Delhi's sacred religious heart, striking near Hindu and Jain temples with an improvised explosive device packed with ammonium nitrate. The blast follows the recent bust of a Pakistan-backed terror network operating just miles away — revealing a coordinated assault on India's cultural centers.
