Ahmedabad, Sep 7: Taking a swipe at the UPA government, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi today said “mere promises” were not enough in fighting terrorism and demanded firm and severe action from the country's leadership.
Asking the leadership to come up with clean policies and clear intentions and also be resolute, Modi said India needed to learn from those countries which have ensured there is no repetition of terror acts in their lands.
“Terrorists are ceaselessly trying to drench the land of this nation with blood. People are fed up with mere promises and what they now want from the leadership is the strictest action,” Modi said reacting to the blast outside Delhi high court in which eleven people were killed today.
Extending his sympathies to the families of the victims, Modi said that fight against terrorism is not a matter of politics but of policies.
“We are repeatedly becoming victims of terrorism. How long the innocent people will be victimised by the terrorists? We need to learn from those countries which have ensured that terror acts did not repeat,” Modi stated.
“People of this nation also want firm and severe action from the leadership,” Modi observed.
He said that this was the second terrorist attack near Delhi High Court. “The first attack, fortunately, did not harm the people but today's attack revealed that terrorists had a barbaric plan at that time also,” he said. PTI
