Nepal developments: PM holds high-level meeting

Bangalore, Apr 17 (UNI) Prime Minister Manmohan Singh held a high-level meeting last night on the developments in Nepal following intense protests against the imperialistic rule and Indian workers being aksed to leave that country.

Disclosing this to reporters here today, National Security Advisor M K Narayanan said, ''We have taken some decisions. Things will unfold soon.'' However, he declined to elaborate on the issue.

Mr Narayanan was here to inagurruate the ISRO Satellite Integration and Test Establishment (ISITE).

On explosion at the historic Jama Masjid in New Delhi on April 14, he said it appeared to be the handiwork of a splinter group of Lashkar-e-Taiba. The explosion could not be said to be a crude one, but it was a low-intensity device, he said. It was comparable to the 1997 blasts in the capital. However, further investigation was being carried out, he added.

When asked about the serial blasts that rocked Jammu and Kashmir on the same day, he said militants of the Jaish-e-Mohammed were involved in it.
