Union Home Minister L K Advani on Sunday asserted the government would not hesitate to firm up its response to the situation arising out of the December 13 attack on Parliament nor would allow it to be influenced by anyone. The government is fully committed to end the menace of terrorism. The centre has neither hesitated from taking any decision nor has its decision been influenced by anyone, he told the convocation of Chaudhry Charan Singh Haryana agricultural university.
Advani said Prime Minister Atal Bihari Vajpayee had been trying to control the terrorism during the last few years. We are fully concentrating on the issue. We have been drawing the attention of the world leaders towards the growing menace of terrorism. Our concern is that all countries should unitedly stand to end terrorism, he said, adding that no country should take it for granted that it could always save itself from this menace.
Stating that India would not let forces out to spread terror in the country to succeed, Advani called upon the countrymen to stand firmly against terrorism, which could not be fought alone by security forces.
We have to stand unitedly against those unleashing terror and we should not think that it is the job of the security forces alone to weed out such forces, Advani said.
