'Possible': Punjab Chief Minister On Ludhiana Blast-Majithia Case Link

Chief Minister Channi made similar comments yesterday too, when he linked the Ludhiana blast with the alleged cases of religious sacrilege in Punjab last week
There is the "possibility of a link" between the Ludhiana court blast and the drugs case in which ex-minister Bikram Majithia has been arrested, Punjab Chief Minister Charanjit Channi said Friday, as he also confirmed that he had sought the centre's help to investigate the explosion.
"It is a possibility. The blast happened in Ludhiana when the hearing in the Majithia case was taking place in Mohali. There is a possibility of a link that needs to be probed," the Chief Minister said.
He also said there was no proof, at this time, of the involvement of Pak agencies or Khalistan groups in the Ludhiana courtroom blast. He further said he had spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah. Mr Channi's statement, however, seemed to contradict his deputy, Sukhjinder Randhawa, who is also the state Home Minister. Mr Randhawa said the role of external forces could not be ruled out.
Mr Channi made similar comments yesterday too, when he linked the Ludhiana blast with the alleged cases of religious sacrilege at the Golden Temple in Amritsar and a gurdwara in Kapurthala.
