Pune, Feb 19 (ANI): Hundreds of youths from all faiths held a candlelight vigil in Pune on Thursday for people who had lost their lives in last week's blast.
Youths, holding placards and banners, emerged in large numbers to show solidarity with the victims and said that they are united against the menace of militancy.
"When we came to know about blast then we were scared a little bit and felt very bad about the mishap because it occurred at the place which is popular among youngsters...but now we are not scared and we want to tell them (militants) that we are not scared, we are united and we are ready to face them." said Afsheen, a protestor.
"Through this peace march we want to say that we are united and we are not scared...we pray to the almighty for providing all victims a safe place in the heaven, and this place (German Bakery) will start soon," added Asim, another protestor.
Pune blast, which killed eleven people and wounded at least 57, is seen as the first major attack on India since the 2008 Mumbai terror attack. (ANI)
