 NEW DELHI, Sept 10 – Pressure on the Centre to deliver on the ULFA front is
likely to mount, with the main Opposition the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP)
charging that the talks with ULFA have suffered on account of inept
handling. Coming in the backdrop of a spate of violent incidents that rocked
the country, the BJP's resolution on Internal Security adopted at the
National Executive meeting at Dehradun, yesterday, was unsparing in its
attack on the handling of the situation by the UPA Government. "After more
than two years of UPA rule, India's internal security is threatened as never
before. Internal security was never a UPA priority," charged the BJP.

Referring to the prevailing situation in the North-east, including the
ongoing peace process with ULFA, the resolution said the National Security
Advisor was engaged in talks, where even the lowest rung of the ULFA leaders
did not participate.

Predicting that the nation and the people would continue to suffer from the
weak-kneed policies of the UPA Government, BJP said that of late, the
participation of home grown terrorists to aid and assist cross border
terrorists has been on the increase. This rise in indigenous terrorism is a
direct result of the policy of appeasement and the huge illegal Bangladeshi
population in the country. This population has intruded into various parts
of the country and is masquerading as locals.

"The Congress Government had enacted the Illegal Migrants (Determination by
Tribunals) Act, 1984. This Act was intended to legitimise infiltration from
Bangladesh into Asom and other regions. It had laid down a complicated and
near impossible mechanism for detection and deportation of illegal migrants.
After the Supreme Court struck it down, the Government has re-introduced
this Act through an amendment to the Foreigners' Tribunal Order. If this
Order remains on the statute book, its impact on India's national security
shall be highly adverse," the BJP claimed.

Subversive activities in North-east are on the increase. Recently, the
Bangladesh Rifles attacked an Indian village in the Cachar District. The
ISCON Temple at Imphal was attacked. Investigations into the attack have
drawn a blank, BJP rued.

The political signals given to the intelligence and security agencies are
disturbing. There is a go-slow against terrorism. Available data indicates
that terrorist liquidation has declined by 56 per cent in the past two
years, the BJP alleged.

The appeasement policy of some political parties and the pursuit of vote
bank politics are strengthening subversive organizations like the SIMI,
Hizbul Mujahideen, Ahle Hadis, Alumma and Deendar Anjuman. Several lesser
known localized outfits have sprung up in various parts of the country.

The failure of the government on the security front is a foremost area of
national concern. A large part of our national resources are expended on
national security but with very little results. Unless the ruling UPA
delinks its policy on handling security issues from vote bank politics,
National Security will be in peril, the resolution said.
