Suggesting cross-border links to the terror attack in Ajmer Dargah, Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil on Saturday said the investigations into the blast have gone “as far as our borders”.
His comments came after his visit on Saturday morning to the sufi shrine of Khwaja Mohiuddin Chisti, which was rocked by a blast on Thursday evening killing two and injuring 17.
“I am fully aware of the progress of the investigations and how far it has reached. The investigations is going as far as our borders,” Patil told reporters.
The Home Minister, who offered chadar at the shrine, also visited the injured at the hospital, where they are treated and promised all help to them.
“We are with you in this time of sorrow. The Centre and the state government will provide all help to those victims,” Patil said.
Patil told mediapersons at the circuit house that it was premature to say anything about the investigations being carried out in the case.
“If we discuss and say much about the investigation it might benefit all those who were behind these blasts. It is better not to discuss much about it,” he said.
The Home Minister said the central and state government would form a policy to ensure safety of the shrine and thus be taking more security measures.
He also discussed the security arrangements with the police and administrative officers.
Condemning the attack, he said every citizen of the country loves peace but there are some people who are working towards disturbing it.
He was accompanied by AICC General Secretary Mukul Vasnik, former Chief Minister of Rajasthan Ashok Gehlot, President of Central Minorities Commission M M Qureshi, Pradesh Congress Committee (PCC) President C P Joshi and Rajasthan Transport Minister Yunas Khan.
