NEW DELHI, April 21 (UPI) -- India said certain foreign-based militant groups are attempting to revive terrorism in Punjab state.
Junior Interior Minister Sri Prakash Jaiswal told Parliament intelligence inputs suggest that certain militant outfits are making efforts to revive terrorism in Punjab.
"The government is aware of the efforts the certain militant groups based abroad are making to revive extremism in Punjab and the government has taken various measures to contain such attempts," Jaiswal said in a written statement.
He said there has been one major incident of terrorism in Punjab, when a bomb blast took place in Shingar cinema hall on Oct. 14, 2007, in Ludhiana in which six people were killed and 38 injured. The minister said the state police have so far arrested three persons in this case.
