In private, Hindus sympathetic to the ultra-right have been saying the bombings demonstrate the moral legitimacy of Purohit and his Hindutva terror project. Even as the police detained more than two dozen young Muslim men for questioning, some community leaders have been arguing that the bakery attack could just have easily been carried out by a Hindutva group.

If Mumbai attacks can be blamed (at the ministerial level) on "Hindutva terror groups", then Pune attacks are obviously small fare. Can't wait for this to gain more traction.
