Fatehgarh Sahib, Feb 21 (UNI) The recent blasts in Samjhauta Express talked volumes of security failure on part of the Home Ministry, Maninderjit Singh Bitta, president, All India Anti-Terrorist Front said here today.

Talking to mediapersons, Mr Bitta, who had just returned from the accident site, said his interactions with the relatives of the victims revealed the weak security measures on part of the Indian authorities.

''There was no check on passengers who were boarding the train while in Pakistan several checks were initiated at several stations during the journey,'' Mr Bitta said.
