On Friday morning, Trump indicated that he expected harsher penalties for terrorists. “We have to be very smart and we have to be very, very tough — perhaps we’re not nearly tough enough,” he told reporters at the White House.

Trump’s words came hours after his Friday morning tweet, which called the explosion another attack “by a loser terrorist”.

He also tweeted that “these are sick and demented people who were in the sights of Scotland Yard. Must be proactive!”

Asked about Trump’s comments later by British media, May said in London that “I never think it’s helpful for anybody to speculate on what is an ongoing investigation.”

A blast took place on a packed rush-hour carriage at Parsons Green subway station on Friday morning in London, leaving at least 29 people injured.

The police has identified the explosion as a terrorist attack.

The terror threat level in Britain has been raised to critical, which means a further terrorist attack may be imminent.

Chaitra Navratri 2022 begins on the first day of the Hindu month (lunar-solar calendar) Chaitra. It marks the end of spring season and beginning of summer season, and that’s why it is also known as Vasant Navratri. The nine-day-long festival has already started from April 2.

Chaitra Navratri 2022 Day 2: Maa Brahmacharini Significance

Maa Brahmacharini is known for her pure and sincere devotion and determination. According to the drik panchang, Goddess Parvati took birth at the home of Daksha Prajapati. In this form, the Goddess Parvati was a great Sati and her unmarried form is worshipped as Goddess Brahmacharini. It is also believed that Lord Mangal, the provider of all fortunes, is governed by Goddess Brahmacharini. She did severe penance to get Lord Shiva as her husband and performed hard austerity. Due to this, she was called Brahmacharini. According to Hindu mythologies, Goddess Brahmacharini was on a diet of Bilva leaves for 3000 years while she prayed to Lord Shankar. Later, she even stopped eating Bilva leaves and continued her penance without any food and water.
