| Terrorism is the biggest threat: PM | | |
HYDERABAD: Terming terrorism as the most dangerous threat to the country, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said improved coordination among states and the use of best technologies is a must to defeat the menace.
"Today's terrorists are most sophisticated, have trans-national linkages and have adequate resources. Both knowledge and determination are required if we are to succeed against these elements," Singh said after reviewing the passing out parade of 58th batch of IPS probationers at the National Police Academy.
Stating that there were subversive forces at work and there was an external dimension to internal threat, he exhorted the policemen to gear up to meet the new challenges. "The most dangerous threat today is terrorism. From an occasional footnote, it has become a hydra-headed monster. There are several strains of terrorism present and you will need to keep abreast of developments in this regard," the Prime Minister said.
Referring to the problems in Northeast, Jammu and Kashmir and States where naxalites are active, he said that the problems in each of these regions were different and skilful approach was needed to tackle them. "All this will demand sensitive handling, understanding reasons for disaffection and alienation and you will find answer to the challenges," Singh said.
The parade was attended by 78 IPS probationers including eight women. Four officers from Royal Bhutan Police and three from Maldives Police also passed out on Thursday. Union Home Minister Shivraj Patil, Andhra Pradesh Governor Rameshwar Thakur, Chief Minister Y S Rajasekhara Reddy and State Home Minister K Jana Reddy were among those present on the occasion.
