New Delhi, Sept 25: Without naming Pakistan, Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee tonight said "some powers" were involved in the terrorist attack on the temple in Gandhinagar and this along with similar strikes in recent past were "directed from the same place." "In the recent past, there have been similar incidents of terrorist attacks and all these are being directed from the same place," the Prime Minister said on his arrival here from Maldives where he had gone on a four-day official visit.
"This is not just the handiwork of two persons. Some other powers are behind it," he said.
To a pointed question whether there was Pakistani hand in the attack, Vajpayee said whatever happened in Gandhinagar was being probed.
Asked to comment on BJP President M Venkaiah Naidu's reported statement that Pakistan was behind the incident, he said "how can I comment on the statement of my party President". Bureau Report
