President pitches for controversial anti-terror intelligence hub
The Assam Tribune | New Delhi, March 12 (IANS)
President Pratibha Patil Monday said the proposed National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), which has been blocked due to severe opposition from non-Congress ruled states, would "improve" India's capability in battling internal security threats.
"In 2011, eighteen terrorist modules were neutralized," she said favouring the formation of the NCTC, which has been opposed by over a dozen chief ministers, including Mamta Banerjee of West Bengal whose Trinamool Congress is a Congress ally in the ruling United Progressive Alliance (UPA).
On internal security front, Patil in her speech said, the UPA government "has shown that acts of violence can be contained with a firm but humane approach". "The security situation in the Northeastern states and Jammu and Kashmir has shown considerable improvement during the last year."
