New Delhi, Sep 10 (IANS) Stating that the country needed to combat divisive forces and radicalisation of youth, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Saturday stressed on the need to beef up intelligence gathering mechanism to tackle terror.
Addressing the 15th meeting of the National Integration Council (NIC), the prime minister said: “The Delhi blast shows that there can be no let up in intelligence. Security methods have been internally reviewed. We need to combat divisive forces and the radicalisation of youth.”
“No civilised society can bear the loss of loved ones,” he said, referring to the blast outside the Delhi High Court Wednesday that left 13 people dead.
The NIC meet will discuss measures to promote communal harmony, eliminate discrimination especially against minorities and scheduled tribes and ways in which the state and police should handle civil disturbances.
