Anti-terror action
Sir,
BJP’s prime ministerial candidate L K Adavani’s stance on POTA is unacceptable. Though POTA is useful in keeping many miscreants under custody it would not provide a way out for ending terrorism. Instead it would be advantageously used by the ruling front to settle scores with political opponents. Existing laws are sufficient to combat terrorism in the country; nevertheless the law enforcing agencies never adhere to them strictly. The roots of terrorists can be found only with the support of the locals. The intelligence agencies should keep a bird’s eye at all nook and corners of the country. The ruling politicians should show the courage to book criminals irrespective of their political propensity.

To make anti-terror action a success, all politicians should prove themselves that they are not in one way or other related with terrorism-whether it is Hindu terrorism or Islamic terrorism.
