Attacked Minister was being pressured to join others, says Mamata

West Bengal Chief Minister Mamata Banerjee on Thursday said that "some people" were pressuring Labour Minister Jakir Hossain to join their party. Hossain was on Wednesday injured in a blast as crude bombs were hurled at him in what Banerjee likened to Punjab CM Beant Singh's assassination in 1995. Banerjee also said that it was a planned attack, adding that an investigation is underway.
