BJP asks govt to spell out its threshold

New Delhi, Jan 06: BJP on Tuesday asked the government to spell out its threshold as Pakitan dismissed as "not credible" evidence provided by India to it on the involvement of elements based there in the Mumbai terror attacks.

"Combating terror needs no recipe of words and has to be fought on the ground. The country would like to know what is the threshhold for the government and how long would the country have to wait while Pakistan stands belligerent stating insufficient evidence," party spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters here today.

Rudy was reacting to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's speech at the meeting of chief ministers on internal security.

"All this while the government is confronting Pakistan with incriminating dossier, no soon it would appear as if the UPA government is playing musical chair with them," he said.

The party also criticised the UPA for keeping pending Presidential assent to GUJCOC, the anti-terror law passed by Gujarat.

"While the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act stands amended to incorporate stringent terror provisions, the PM has yet preferred to keep mum on GUJCOC, which had been denied Presidential assent on behest of the Union government as too tough a law," he said.

The saffron party alleged that the Prime Minister has failed to even remotely acknowledge the presence of Bangladeshi nationals across the country and the larger issue of infiltration in particular, he added.

"The reference to non-state actors is a hogwash and now there is ample evidence that there is only one state actor which is Pakistan using its official agencies to unleash and perpetrate terror across the boundary," Rudy said.
