| Revive tough laws to tackle terror: Oppn | | |
NEW DELHI, NOV 27
Accusing the government of "being soft" on terrorism, the Opposition today demanded in the Rajya Sabha revival of tough laws to tackle the menace and said no leniency should be shown to perpetrators of grave terrorist acts like attack on Parliament.
In negotiations with Pakistan, the centrality of cross border terrorism as the core issue should be maintained and any talk of "self rule" or going back to pre-1953 status on Jammu and Kashmir should not be encouraged or entertained, senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said.
"No ad hoc solutions," should be pursued in Kashmir, he said initiating a short duration discussion on Internal Security during which members argued that the situation in naxal-hit states was assuming "alarming proportion".
Jaitley said during the two-and-a-half-year rule of the Congress-led UPA government, several gross constitutional improprieties were committed.
He recalled imposition of President's rules in Jharkhand and Goa and alleged the authority of the Prime Minister had been diluted.
"But the largest single failure of the government is on the internal security front," Jaitley said.
He wanted to know what steps the government had taken after terror attacks in Ayodhya, Varanasi, Mumbai and Bangalore. |
