Chidambaram Abdicating His Duties : BJP

New Delhi, Sep 13: BJP today joined issue with Home Minister P Chidambaram over his comments that fighting terrorism was more a state responsibility, saying he was abdicating his duties as the menace was spread over ten states and a coordinated effort was required to combat it.

“As long as Chidambaram is on the scene, we will keep hearing of new terminologies everyday. So far no arrest has been made in the Delhi blast case, so how can one even talk of punishing the guilty,” BJP spokesperson Prakash Javadekar said.

The Home Minister had earlier stated at a programme in the capital that fighting terrorism was primarily the responsibility of the states. He maintained that Left wing extremism was more a matter of concern than any other form of terror activity.
