VHP wants free hand to security forces to tackle 'Islamic terrorism'

Ayodhya, Nov 23 (UNI) Against the backdrop of the serial blasts in Uttar Pradesh, Vishwa Hindu Parishad (VHP) today advocated giving a free hand to security forces to deal with rising ''Islamic terrorism.'' ''To tide over Islamic terrorism, the central government needs to take hard decisions with will-power...the security forces should be given a free hand in the matter,'' VHP general secretary Praveen Bhai Togadia told UNI on phone.

Mr Togadia further censured any politics on terrorism and said all the political parties should hold one view over the issue.

He pointed out that after temples, even courts were not safe in the country.

''The terrorists are getting defiant by the day,'' he warned.

Besides, he favoured snapping of the dialogue process with Pakistan and Bangladesh.
