Prime Minister’s directive hailed

Bangalore: Mohammad Siraj Ebrahim Sait, president of the National Youth League, has welcomed the recent directive by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh to Chief Minister H.D. Kumaraswamy asking him to take strong measures against terrorist activities in the State.

The initiative is a “timely and relevant measure” as “acts of destruction against innocents of any community, no matter what the provocation, cannot be condoned” he said in a letter to Dr. Singh. However, “irresponsible acts by a member of any community cannot be construed as an act of the entire community nor can any community accept the responsibility for such acts”, he said. The tendency to victimise a community would work against the secular growth of the country, he said.
