JAMMU:
Union Minister in Prime Minister’s Office Jitendra Singh today said the Centre is equipped to deal with any situation.
“The Centre is fully-equipped to deal with such a situation,” Dr Singh here told reporters, who rushed from New Delhi to visit the injured in the Samba Fidayen attack at GMC hospital here.
He also condemned the terror attacks and asserted that Centre and the present set up in New Delhi is fully equipped to deal any kind of situation.
On Armed Forces Special Powers Act (AFSPA), he said, “any decisions of AFSPA cannot be taken on the political considerations.”
“I think, this is also an occasion for us to do some re-thinking and rise above the political lines and learn that any decisions regarding sensitive issues, like for example AFSPA, to maintain it or withdraw it, to continue it or discontinue it, has to be essentially based on the wisdom and inputs of the security agencies, instead of getting tempted to political considerations,” he said.
He further said that the Pakistan is not ready to mend its ways but the Centre was following zero-tolerance towards terrorism.
“It is certainly evident that Pakistan is not ready to mend its ways but as the Prime Minister has already stated even on the floor of the House that India, under the present Government, follows the policy of zero-tolerance towards terrorism and we are committed to that,” the Union Minister said.
