One cannot rule out the involvement of groups opposing Pakistan President Pervez Musharraf8217;s peace process with India in the Samjhauta Express blasts, said a Pakistani daily on Wednesday, countering the view on 8220;Hindu extremist links8221;.

On Tuesday, The Nation had suggested the involvement of 8220;Hindu extremists8221; in the blast. Countering the view, The Daily Times said in an editorial that the Indo-Pak 8220;peace process had been initiated at the cost of jehad being waged by our religious warriors8221;.

8220;Some opposition politicians and jehadi elements have openly accused Musharraf of having betrayed the Kashmir cause by trying to normalise relations with India. The culprits can be narrowed down further8230; It could be someone who hates Musharraf more than he loves fellow Muslims8230; Let us keep our fingers crossed and pray it is not a Pakistan-linked terrorist organisation that has killed people going to India to meet their relatives. And let us pray that better measures are taken to secure the cross-border trains plying from Punjab and Sindh,8221; The Daily Times said.
