A random cab driver came to me and helped to take me to a hospital, said Kirti Ajmera.
"I have undergone 40 to 45 surgeries till now and I have to undergo more surgeries because I still have shards of glass in my body," he added.
"We do not get any help from the government. I have written letters to that time CM and many ministers. But no one cared to act on it," he further added.
"I am interviewed by many print and electronic media since 1993 and this year I am completing 30 years of the worst terrorist attack," he stated.
He further stated that he wants to meet Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde and DCM Devendra Fadnavis to tell his pain.
