Advani facing threats, says M.K. Narayanan

New Delhi: The Government has specific intelligence about threats to BJP leader L.K. Advani during his proposed rath yatra in Uttar Pradesh, National Security Advisor M.K. Narayanan has said.

While three to four credible threats to strike at religious places had been received, there was ``specific intelligence'' on Mr. Advani, his rath yatra in Uttar Pradesh and the RSS headquarters in Nagpur, Mr. Narayanan told CNN-IBN in an interview. Observing a ``Pakistani connection'' in promoting jihadi violence in India, Mr. Narayanan said these elements used Bangkok and the West Asia route to cross over, according to a release by the news channel.

``The emergence of Indian terror modules, the deliberate targeting of religious places ... is worrying ... and these are attempts to create communal violence and divisions between the majority and minority communities,'' he said.
