Union Minister for State for Home Sriprakash Jaiswal on Friday claimed that a major breakthrough had been achieved in the probe into the July 11 serial bomb blasts in commuter trains in Mumbai.
"In a major breakthrough, we have understood the conspiracy behind the blasts although the accused are yet to be arrested," he told reporters at the Mana airport in Raipur.
"Many things are clearer now after the investigation but it will take time to reach to the crux of the matter," he said, adding:
"Since security agencies have understood the purpose of the blasts, all steps have been taken and it will be difficult for anyone to carry out any such blasts in the country."
When asked about recent incidents of violence in northeastern states, the minister said: "We are serious about the internal security challenges and besides using forces, we want to adopt other methods to deal with terrorist activities. Assam, Manipur and other northeastern states are comparatively peaceful now and people need not be worried about the stray incidents of violence there."
