BJP questions Manmohan’s commitment
New Delhi: A day after Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pitched for a federal crime agency, the Bharatiya Janata Party on Sunday questioned his commitment to fight terror and said a new agency would be of no use unless it was armed with a POTA-type stringent anti-terror law.
“Manmohan Singh’s bonafides in the war against terror are suspect,” senior BJP leader Arun Jaitley said, while asking whether a federal agency under the Prime Minister to deal with terror crimes could really be trusted given his “track record” in the last four years.
“It is ironical that after being in the prime ministerial office for four years the Prime Minister has finally woken up to the harsh and cruel reality that prevention and investigation of terrorism in India is on the verge of collapse.”
He said the repeal of POTA, not giving assent to similar anti-terror laws in BJP-ruled States, non-execution of Parliament attack convict Afzal Guru and “helping the accused being prosecuted under POTA for burning Sabarmati Express” raised a legitimate question whether a federal agency under Dr. Singh could really be trusted. — PTI
