Attacking the United Progressive Alliance government at the Centre for going 'soft' on terror, Bharatiya Janata Party president Rajnath Singh on Saturday said it had led to a serious threat to internal security in the country.
"The UPA government is going soft on terrorism fearing that strong steps taken to bring an end to it would lead to alienation of Muslims, which is not the fact. The entire Muslim community does not favour terrorism and terrorists do not have any religion," he told media persons.
"I appeal to the Muslims to understand that the soft approach of the UPA government to terrorism has endangered the security of all sections," he said.
The BJP leader said that after last year's Mumbai commuter train blasts, the prime minister and Union Home minister had said that names of the perpetrators will be made public, but this has not been done till now.
"The fight against terror is the lowest priority of the Centre, which, motivated by votebank politics, repealed POTA without enacting an alternative law to effectively check terrorism," he alleged.
Quoting newspaper reports, Singh said Indian currency notes were being printed at a government press in Quetta in Pakistan and smuggled into India via Nepal.
Even the National Security Adviser has said that the terrorists were investing in the Indian stock market, he said, adding that 'this is an alarming situation.'
