New Delhi, Mar 2: BJP, which has been opposing NCTC, today accused the Congress-led UPA government of failing to provide leadership in fighting terror and asked it to bring in a strong anti-terror law if it was serious on the issue.
“The Congress-led UPA is not providing the leadership to fight terrorism. We cannot win over the fight against terror under UPA,” BJP President Rajnath Singh said in his inaugural address at the National Council meet, where he condoled the loss of lives in the recent bomb blasts in Hyderabad.
Claiming that the proposed National Counter Terrorism Centre was against the country's federal structure, he said BJP was not against any laws to shore up internal security but will not accept anything that “poses a question mark on the nation's federal structure”.
“If the government brings a law to fight terror, BJP will support it,” he said.
“If the government is so serious on the issue of terrorism that it wants to make an anti-terrorism institution like NCTC at central level then why it is not keen on enacting an anti-terrorism law at the Centre,” the BJP chief questioned.
