Terrorism posing threat to nation's unity: Fernandes

Patna, Dec 28 (UNI) National Democratic Alliance(NDA) Convenor and former union minister George Fernandes today said terrorism is posing a serious threat to security and safety of people across the globe.

While addressing a function here, Mr Fernandes said the death of former Prime Minister of Pakistan Benazir Bhutto in a bomb-cum-gun attack yesterday was an eye-opener to the growing menace of terrorism in the civil society.

''The country is facing a serious threat to its unity and integrity from terrorism and if the Centre continues to take it lightly, there would be grave consequences in the coming days,'' he added.

Mr Fernandes alleged that the UPA government at the Centre was not discharging its duties responsbly and said the people should come forward to meet the challenge from disruptive forces in such circumstances.
