He also said India has asked for extradition of jailed ULFA leader Anup Chetia from Bangladesh when the minister recently met his counterpart during an official ceremony in Tripura.
Talking about the situation in Uttar Pradesh's Muzaffarnagar post the communal riots, Shinde said the Centre will obtain a report on the present situation from the state government.
Shinde also said the security personnel and policeman who fought terrorists during the November 26, 2008 Mumbai attacks had done an “excellent work” in ending the three-day siege in the metropolitan city.
He said he will “check” the facts about Maharashtra government's submission to the Bombay High Court yesterday that though a proposal had been sent to the Centre for presenting gallantry awards to police officials and members of bomb disposal squads for fighting terrorists during the 26/11 attacks, it had rejected the names.
