New Delhi, Dec. 24: Amid growth of home-grown terror groups, the Prime Minister, Dr Manmohan Singh, on Friday warned about the dangers of terrorism becoming an “internal intruding problem” and said credible effective strategies needed to be devised to deal with such a challenge in a sensitive manner.
Addressing IPS Probationers here, Mr Singh said terrorism coming from external sources was easy to deal with in some ways but the home-grown terrorism needed required sensitive handling.
He said the growing problem the country faces is of terrorism “sometimes supported by forces outside our country but we must also recognise that today I think there are dangers that terrorism can become an internal intruding problem as well”.
Contending that terrorism “driven by outside forces or sent to our country” was in some way “easy” to tackle, Mr Singh said, however, that “if the terror modules are to be found in our country and some misguided elements of our society take to that path, I think we have to tackle this problem with all
the sensitivity that it requires.”
