The Gujarat Assembly on Thursday adjourned for the day after condoling the death of Wednesday’s victims of the attack on Sabarmati Express at the state`s Godhra town. State chief minister Narendra Modi, making a ‘suo moto’ statement in the legislative assembly, termed it as ``an act of terrorism`` and said that it was pre-planned. He said that miscreants first started stone-pelting and brought the train to a halt by chain-pulling. He said that explosive material was used to burn the train in which 38 women, 12 children and 18 men were burnt alive. The state government had ordered a judicial inquiry into the incident.
