8) On Friday, a team from NIA went to the blast site. Pralhad Joshi, a union minister, has requested an NIA probe into the explosion. "The state government should advise this, the NIA should look into this, and we vehemently condemn this explosion. "These incidents are occurring because the Congress is encouraging and supporting people who are becoming radicalized," he stated.

9) Joshi further linked the explosion to radicalization in the state run by the Congress. The Karnataka assembly's purportedly pro-Pakistan slogans were also mentioned by him. "This event might not have happened if the state's Congress government had treated the Vidhana Soudha pro-Pakistan sloganeering incident seriously. The state administration responded to the Vidhana Soudha tragedy in a "silly" manner, treating the entire incident with a "casual reaction." More appeasement politics lead to a rise in radicalization, which feeds to the development of terrorism," the speaker stated.

Numerous groups are working on various leads that have been found thus far. The media is urged to refrain from speculating and to assist, given the delicate nature of the case and the security issues involved.
