New Delhi: Its proposal to set up the National Counter Terrorism Council may have evoked sharp opposition, but the government on Monday got support for the move from an unexpected quarter -- a key Team Anna member.
Senior lawyer and prominent Team Anna member Prashant Bhushan said he did not find anything wrong in setting up such a centre to fight terrorism. "There is no harm in having a federal agency like NCTC," he said when asked about his views on setting up the anti- terror body, which is opposed by several states citing damage to federal structure of the country.
Interestingly, Bhushan was in the forefront along with Anna Hazare in opposing the government`s bill on Lokpal alleging that it was very weak.
