‘India’s weak policy behind growing terrorism’5

.
Special Correspondent SILCHAR, Nov 8: New Delhi blames Pakistan and Bangladesh for serial bomb blasts across the country. But, it has to go for introspection how far it is armed with proper legislation to deal with ever growing spectre of terrorism as one after another state capital and city are coming under its jaw. In the absence of any effective legislation, jehadis, terrorists and extremists are becoming stronger to take the security forces for a ride.In no way different was the reaction of Sheikh Kamal Hasan, first Secretary, Commerce, Deputy High Commissioner of Bangladesh, based at Kolkata, while talking to mediapersons at Karimganj Circuit House on Friday. He was in the border town to have an on the spot study of the status of trade and commerce that his country as with India through riverine and land routes. Besides, taking stop of various trans-border problems between the two countries.Hasan said with its anti-terror law till date executed 7 jihadis and terrorists for their mayhems and subversive activities through fast trial proceedings. With the assumption of power by the present Caretaker Government, there has been no terrorist act, he pointed out.He scoffed at the accusation of Delhi that serial blasts in India were masterminded by jehadis, particularly HuJI (Hakat-ul-Jihadi-al-Islami) based in Bangladesh. He at the same time denied existence of any camp or base of any north east militant organization despite assertion by BSF with documentary evidences; that these extremist groups are operating from 141 camps in that country. He rather turned the accusing finger at India, saying terrorists on the run in his country have taken shelter here, a safe haven for them. He cited the specific case of Subrata Pain, most wanted terrorist of his country, working in league with Dawood Ibrahim, who was arrested from Kolkata recently.Even New Delhi can learn from Dhaka how to deal with terrorism. Jamait-ul-Mujahideen (JUM) which carried out simultaneous blasts in 63 districts of Bangladesh in August 2005 along with Jagrata Muslim Janata was not only banned but all its top leaders were taken into custody and dealt with firmly. The most notorious jihadi leader Bangla Bhai was executed within a year of his arrest and trial. In fact, what Awami League and Bangladesh Nationalist Party failed to contain was reined in by the Caretaker Government.There is no threat of internal or external aggression in Bangladesh. It again speaks of the courage and boldness of that country that the terrorist and extremist organizations operating against India are safe there. It is again a reflection on the weak policy of Delhi. source: sentinel assam
