Ghaziabad: Terrorism and militancy are
being fanned to destabilise the economy of the country which
is at the threshold of a double digit growth, Union Home
Minister P Chidambaram on Wednesday said.
He said hostile forces seek to undermine the security
and stability of our nation.
"Even while they (hostile forces) challenge our
borders and our boundaries, they make attempts to destabilise
our economy. Terrorism and militancy are being fanned to
hinder the growth of our country," Chidambaram said in his
address at the CISF Raising Day Parade here.
He said since the 1980`s, India has emerged as one of
the most happening economies of the world. "The past decade
has seen good growth and our economy is on the threshold of a
double digit growth," Chidambaram said.
He said the country`s growth depends on infrastructure
and the CISF, which guards some of the most critical
installations, is securing India`s future.
About the renewed mandate of the force to provide
security to private installations also, the Minister said his
Ministry continues to receive requests which are being
examined and security will be provided as per priority.
At present the government has selected Information
Technology, Power, Oil and Natural Gas sectors as the top
three priorities.
