It is not alright to conclude after this evening's blast in Pune that entire Pune city was targeted, Union Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar has said. "It is not alright to arrive at a conclusion that the entire Pune city has been targeted," Pawar said.
The place where the blast took place is an isolated area, he added. "I have spoken to Home Minister R R Patil, district guardian minister Ajit Pawar and district collector," Pawar said. On the issue of American terror suspect David Headley's visits to the Osho Ashram located near the German Bakery in Koregaon Park which witnessed the bomb blast, Pawar said "I have no information as yet to reach this conclusion." Expressing confidence that people of Pune will face the incident with a brave face, Pawar said "when I was Chief Minister, Mumbai saw 11 simultaneous blasts but everything returned to normal soon." There is no need for Pune residents to panic, Pawar said. PTI
