Convene Parliament immediately: CPI (M)

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Sunday asked the Union government to explain why the intelligence and security set up have failed to identify and dismantle the terrorist groups that are still operating in the country.

Denouncing the terrorist network that has allegedly perpetrated the series of blasts in Delhi on Saturday, the party’s Polit Bureau demanded that the Centre should convene Parliament immediately and submit a report on the matter.

“It is evident that the main need is for an effective intelligence and investigating system which can uncover the persons behind these activities and not draconian detention laws which have proved ineffective in the past,” the Polit Bureau said in a statement.

Stressing upon similarities of the Delhi blasts with those which occurred in Ahmedabad, Bangalore, and Jaipur this year, the CPI (M) said that it indicated that the capacity of the terrorist network to strike had not been curbed despite claims of arresting some of the main culprits after the blasts in Ahmedabad. The party also conveyed its heartfelt sympathy to the families of all those who have been victims of the blasts in Delhi.
