I compliment our security agencies who were involved in this process. India’s internal security has been of key concern to all, particularly for us in the BJP. India cannot afford to lower its guard. The threat comes from groups across the border which are supported by both State and non-State actors. It also comes from various indigenous modules.

The threat further comes from various Maoist groups who believe in overthrowing India’s Parliament democracy by the use of violence. It is being suspected that various terrorist attacks in the recent years were engineered by these groups. As security agencies work overtime to track the activities of these groups, it is surprising that the political establishment of the Home Ministry recently announced that they had no information about any threat to political leaders, particularly of the BJP during the election campaign. Attempts would be made by insurgents to disturb India’s general elections.

Our security establishments cannot afford to fail even once and must always be ahead of these insurgent groups in tracking and busting their activities like this one.
