Observing that trans-border intervention fuelled the threat of terrorism and Left-wing extremism, President Pratibha Patil today said an institutional mechanism needs to be evolved to seamlessly share intelligence on real-time basis to foil their attempts.
"The big challenge facing us is the battle against terrorism, Left wing extremism and insurgency. Outfits with varying goals have been waging a long and ensuring warfare against the State with some forming a mutually supportive grid in this proxy warfare," she said inaugurating a two-day conference of Governors here.
The threat to country's security and integrity was also posed by "intervention by trans-border elements", she said adding adding that Left wing extremism was fast becoming a vexed problem.
Referring to the serial blasts in the national capital, the President said the emerging phenomenon of "metro-terrorism" has given a new dimension to subversive activities and was a matter of grave concern.
The conference, being held against the backdrop of several terror attacks in the country, is being attended by Vice-President Hamid Ansari, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh and senior Cabinet ministers. It would discuss threadbare the internal security environment in the country. |
