Terrorism would not be allowed foment in MP: Chouhan

Bhopal, May 14 (UNI) Madhya Prdaesh Chief Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan today strongly condemned serial bomb blasts that rocked Jaipur last night and blamed the soft approach of the Centre behind these incidents.

''Terrorism could be dealt with tough legislations such as the Prevention of Terrorism Act but the Centre scrapped the legislation.

Besides, it was not letting states to enact such legislations,'' Mr Chouhan told reporters here after the conclusion of the two-day meeting of the party state executive committee.

He said the district administration was exercising vigil in the wake of Jaipur blasts. Such incidents would not be allowed to foment in the state.
