Ludhiana, Dec 24: Law and Justice Minister Kiren Rijiju on Friday said Punjab and the Center will together investigate the Ludhiana court blast which killed one man.
Stressing that his visit was not political, Rijiju said Prime Minister Narendra Modi was viewing the explosion “very seriously”.
“The Government of India is taking the Ludhiana blast very seriously. PM has expressed concern over the incident. We will investigate it in depth and professionally,” Rijiju said.
The Minister said he visited the court complex and a detailed investigation would be done.
“The main purpose of my visit is to tell people of Ludhiana that the Modi government will work with the state government on this case and all similar cases. The attempts being made to create disturbances in Punjab and the rest of India, whether by internal or external factors, the government will address it,” he said.
“We will not work in silos. The state and Centre will work together for the people of Punjab,” he said.
A man was killed and five others were injured when a powerful bomb exploded in a district court in Ludhiana on Thursday. The explosives were concealed in a toilet that exploded on the second floor with a deafening blast.
