Bijnor, India : Dismissing opposition charges that India was facing threat from terrorist outfits, the Centre has said there was no danger to internal security of the country.
“In Jammu and Kashmir, terrorism is at fag-end after 20 years. The naxal-affected Andhra Pradesh is quite calm. There is no danger to internal security of the country,” Union Minister of State for Home Shriprakash Jaiswal told reporters here on Thursday.
He charged the opposition parties with misleading people about the danger of terrorist outfits.
“The opposition parties are making a noise and misleading the country on this. But during their regime the terrorists attacked Parliament and other religious places,” he said.
Jaiswal said the Centre was providing all possible help, including paramilitary forces, helicopters and other resources to naxal-affected states to fight the maoists..
Claiming that there was no problem of terrorism in Uttar Pradesh state, he blamed the CRPF authorities and the state government for the terrorist attack on a CRPF camp in Rampur recently.
Asked about the alleged delay in hanging of Parliament attack case convict Afzal Guru, Jaiswal said normally it took six years for reaching any decision on such cases.
Why the opposition is making such a hue and cry on this issue in just two years when a decision on assassins of former Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi was taken only after eight years, he said.
