Krishna declines comment on fate of Indo-Pak talks

Chennai, Feb 14 (PTI) Indian External Affairs Minister S
M Krishna Sunday declined to comment on the fate of the
February 25 Foreign Secretary-level talks between India and
Pakistan in the wake of the Pune bomb blast.

"I am not going to talk about the talks right now. Let us
wait for the report (of the investigative agencies) first,"
Krishna told reporters here when asked whether the Pune blast
would have any impact on the dialogue.
Terming the blast as "most tragic and unfortunate",
Krishna said, "We will resist the forces of terrorism
resolutely and with firmness and determination."
He said, "We are well aware that the dark forces of
terrorism are against peace and amity between nations. It is
most tragic and unfortunate that they have struck again
leading to a loss of innocent lives."
An improvised explosive device, kept in a packet outside
the kitchen of the popular German bakery in Pune, exploded at
around 1930 hours local time on Saturday night when a waiter
attempted to open it, killing nine persons and injuring 57
others. (MORE) PTI SNR
