SECURITY ORGANISATIONS IN THE COUNTRY
MUST MAINTAIN CONSTANT VIGIL FOR THWARTING ENEMY DESIGNS TO DESTABILIZE
THE NATION – SAYS ADVANI
The Deputy Prime Minister, Shri L.K. Advani has called upon security
organizations to maintain constant vigil to counter any challenge
and thwart enemy designs to destabilize the country. He said the
steadily increasing menace of terrorism all over the world is
decidedly the most important threat and challenge facing the mankind
today. Since terrorism is now globalised with increasing networking
of terrorist outfits all over the world, it is imperative for
security organizations to maintain constant vigil and strive towards
keeping themselves updated about latest technologies and gadgetries
to deal with the menace. Shri Advani was inaugurating the "International
Security, Safety and Fire Exhibition-2003" at Pragati Maidan,
here today. The Exhibition has been put up by the Central Industrial
Security Forces with the help of the India Trade Promotion Organisation.
He said today from temples of worship to
temples of economy, nothing is immune from terrorist attacks and
no civilized country can justify any Act of Terrorism. Shri Advani
said New Delhi has been successfully in creating a worldwide awareness
on the menace of terrorism and the international community today
is prepared to counter any threat. But the world woke up to horrors
of terrorism only after the September 11 attack on the World Trade
Centre.
Hailing the CISF for countering the security
threats effectively, Shri Advani said the Force has expanded its
activities mani-fold which include maintaining the security at
airports and private establishments. Times have radically changed
and so our security needs and therefore, it is the concern of
every Indian how to tackle the terrorist menace. Referring to
the Exhibition, the Home Minister said exposition of this type
has also a commercial aspect and world class Indian products can
fulfil the security requirements of South-East Asian countries.
He hoped the Exhibition will help creating awareness among the
public and prepare themselves to counter the terrorists who are
determined to disturb the social fabric of the country.
