CPI(M): take up with UNSC evidence of links in Pakistan

NEW DELHI: The Communist Party of India (Marxist) on Sunday said India should take up with the United Nations Security Council (UNSC) the evidence of the links in Pakistan of the persons who committed the Mumbai outrage.

“As per the U.N. Security Council Resolution against terrorism (1373), all states have obligations to take steps against terrorist activities and deny ‘safe havens to those who finance, plan, support, or commit terrorist acts,” a Polit Bureau press communiqué said here.

The Polit Bureau had already adopted a statement on the terrorist attack and concluded that the lessons from this grim incident had to be drawn correctly and promptly.

The continuous and widespread terrorist attacks in the country had shown up the weakness in the intelligence and security systems.

The country expected the government to immediately take effective steps to revamp and strengthen the intelligence and security set-up. A beginning has to be made by identifying and taking steps against the forces with external links who had perpetrated this crime.
