Vadodara, Mar 30: The nexus between the underworld and Pakistan's ISI is responsible for the murder of former Gujarat home minister Haren Pandya in Ahmedabad last week, Union Minister of State for home affairs, pension and public grievances Haren Pathak said today. "Pandya had no enemies, had an amiable personality and kept good relations with everybody. So this is a planned murder and there is no doubt about it", Pathak asserted while speaking to newspersons after attending a function here.
Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani had also spoken about this after attending Pandya's funeral last week, he said.
Justifying the CBI inquiry into the killing of Pandya, Pathak said since an inter-state gang was believed to behind the killing of Pandya, "it is necessary that CBI conducted an inquiry into it" and expressed hope that the probe would be completed soon.
