Need for NCTC

It is the immediate need for a nodal body to take preventive measures against terrorism so that the nation and the innocent person could not suffer any more. Now enough is enough. The people of the nation do not want to listen to politics over the issue of terrorism. Now-a-days, our government learns most of the lessons in economic management from the US. Why does it not learn lesson in preventing terrorist acts from America? There has been no terror strike there after 9/11.The US has proved to the world that it is almost impossible now for terrorist to carry out terrorist acts after 9/11. For this, it has built up national consensus and showed no difference in adopting the harshest and full prove measures against terrorism. Neither the opposition nor the ruling party saw any politics when they came to deal with the national issue like terrorism. But it is our tragedy that what the government suggests to combat terror is seen with suspicion and the opposition parties start opposing it on the ground that this move will be used to penalize the political opponents. Without giving any thought to know whether the government has initiated the move is good or bad in dealing with terrorism, opposition parties start opposing it. This is not the first time that Hyderabad has witnessed terrorist strike. It has experienced many more terrorist attack and lost several lives and huge property in the past. The Thursday evening terror strikes at Dilsukhnagar area of Hyderabad is not the first its kind. After 26/11 Mumbai terror attack which killed 166 innocent persons and injured several, our government has not learnt any lesson. There have been several terror acts all over the nation after 26/11 and several lives have been lost. Mumbai terror attack is not only one of the biggest ones in India but also the world over. After Mumbai terror attack, the UPA government made a move to form a nodal body on national level to counter terror act any where in the country. The idea of National Counter Terrorism Centre was moved by the government. Under NCTC, it would collect intelligence information on national level about terror activity and go into it without taking into confidence the state government where it has to investigate. Some of the opposition-ruled states opposed it vehemently on the ground that it was against the federal structure of the Constitution. The government had to abandon the idea of NCTC. If NCTC was formed, the Hyderabad terror strike would not have taken place. The Centre could not sit idle after dispensing the general terror alert information. The NCTC would investigate the matter to prevent the terror act. So, stop politicizing terror and start building consensus on effective measure to combat it for all time to come.
