NEW DELHI/JAIPUR, Feb 3: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh today said the Government is mulling a sound legal and structural frameworks to fight against the menace of terrorism in a decisive manner.
Addressing the International Conference on Counter Terrorism, organised by India Foundation in the Pink City today, Mr Singh said,”Given the ever increasing threat of terrorism in India, our National Security Strategy is now aiming at creating an environment which provides full opportunity for unhindered growth and development to every section of the society.
We are also looking forward to create appropriate legal and structural frameworks to fight against the menace of terrorism.” “We want to insure that all terror related cases are thoroughly investigated and followed up properly and regularly in the courts. Our guiding principle while handling terror related cases should be ‘Koi Begunaah Fanse Nahi, Aur Koi Gunahgaar Bache Nahi'(no innocent faces the noose, no culprit escapes it),” Mr Singh said.
“We also solicit and appeal for full cooperation on issues pertaining to National Security from opposition too because we need to rise above partisan politics on issues of national importance,” he said, adding that the lack of consensus on matters like national security will adversely affect the country’s national interest.
Stressing that Islamic State was better referred to as Daesh, Mr Singh said,”It is a cause of grave concern that the cyberworld is being exploited by terror groups such as Daesh or ISIS to radicalise the gullible youth of our country. Since many security experts and intellectuals are present here, I appeal to all of you to use the word Daesh to mention ISIS in future because this terror organisation is seeking legitimacy through the word Islamic State.” (UNI)
