Thiruvananthapuram, January 2: India was keenly watching the developments in Pakistan in the aftermath of Benazir Bhutto's assassination with concern and hope that normalcy is restored in that country at the earliest, Defence Minister A K Antony said.

"We have nothing to say about the internal matters of Pakistan at a time when many a problem with them were being resolved through talks," Antony said on the sidelines of a book release function.

Violence anywhere would be put down with a strong hand, he said.

On a question regarding the difficulties faced by tribals in Naxal-affected areas, Antony said steps had been taken to solve their problems and the issue was discussed at the meeting of Chief Ministers convened by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh recently.

Replying to a question, he said there was no Maoist threat in Kerala.

Stringent measures would be taken to punish those involved in corrupt activities in the defence force, Antony said.
