BJP Chief seeks inclusion of ISI in global watch list

Bangalore, Sep 27 (UNI) Bharatiya Janata Party President Rajnath Singh today reiterated his party's demand for inclusion of the ISI in the international watch list for which the Centre should take steps.

Talking to newsmen at the airport here, he said, ''it has not remained secret that in every terrorist act taking place in India, the hand of ISI is evident.

''Hence, the Centre should see the ISI was included in the international watch list.'' Strongly condemning today's bomb blast in New Delhi in which five people were killed, Mr Singh said ''the spectre of terrorists act is continuing unabated since their confidence is high now.

''Terrorist moral is very high at this time. It is because of UPA Government's soft attitude. Afzal Guru, though convicted in connection with Parliament attack case, is yet to be hanged.'' He said the UPA Government withdrew POTA without alternative law despite the Administrative Reforms Commission recommending far more severe law to deal with terrorists.

To a question, Mr Singh said ''if the BJP comes to power we will take this (terrorism) as a challenge. We would take steps to fight terrorism both at Domestic level and International level.'' UNI MSP GM RL BD2010
