Country's Security A Shared Responsibility, Says Chidambaram

Faced with strong opposition from non-Congress Chief Ministers over setting up of an anti-terror body, the Centre today reached out to them saying security of the country is a shared responsibility and without coordination among states the war against terror cannot be won.

Inaugurating an NSG hub in Badu, about 50 kms from Kolkata, Home Minister P Chidambaram said the Constitution assigns law and order to the state government and also to the Centre to protect the country against external aggression or internal disturbance.
