One of the reasons for this blast may be to derail the Indo-Pak talks.  Both sides have a very small percentage of elements, who wants to bring the countries to the brink of war. However these countries should continue with their much awaited talks. There should be political, cultural and sports interaction between them in-order to help in easing the tension and focusing on developmental activities.
