"Terrorist groups including LeT and JeM persist in their endeavour to launch terror attacks. They continue to innovate new ways and means of deniability. They find support among disgruntled elements within India," Chidambaram said.
Inaugurating a three-day long conference of Directors General and Inspectors General of police organised by Intelligence Bureau, Chidambaram cross border terrorism "is a matter of deep concern" and policing in India was always a challenge and after "26/11, the challenge has become more grave."
"Let me state our position clearly. On terrorism, our stance is zero tolerance. We shall raise our level of preparedness to fight any terror threat attack and, in the case of threat or attack, our response will be swift and decisive," the Home Minister said.
He said the security agencies have neutralised 13 terror modules in the first six months of this year.
Describing 26/11 attacks as a "game-changer", he said "We meet under circumstances that pose formidable challenges to the security of the nation. The attacks in Mumbai on November 26, last year were a game changer. We can no longer afford to business as usual," he said.
The Home Minister said the country's security faces many threats from sources like - terrorism, Left Wing Extremism and insurgency - in certain states.
On Left-Wing extremism, Chidambaram said it was purporting to be a radical form of communism. "Today, various groups adhering to this outdated ideology have their pockets of influence in 20 states," he said, adding the banned CPI (Maoist) remaining the most potent of the naxal groups with a presence in 17 states and a 90 per cent share in naxal violence.
In a bid to expand its network and influence, the Maoist have been seeking alliances with secessionist and terrorist elements in the country, the Home Minister said.
"It has been keenly seeking ideological resonance and tactical understanding with the Northeast insurgents and has begun to lend support to their secessionist ideology and demands," he said.
The Home Minister said "endemic insurgencies" in the North-eastern states also posed a security challenge.
"The trend of gradual deterioration in security situation during last several years seems to have been checked this year with relative decline in overall violence. Sharp shrinkages in social resonance has rendered the ULFA a much weaker organisation," he said.
Chidambaram expressed concern over the situation in Manipur but said insurgencies have been contained in Meghalaya and Tripura.
Safe sanctuaries across the border, easy access to arms and extensive international border have helped the insurgent movements in the area to sustain so long, he said.
About the developments in Jammu and Kashmir, Chidambaram said the state has seen steady improvement in the security situation but cautioned the security forces and state police not to lower their guard.
He said an effective strategy to neutralise terrorists, insurgents and extremists needs an institutionalised mechanism for "intelligence sharing and operational coordination" among police force of the country.
"The police forces work within existing legal framework and normally remain operationally confined to their respective states. Terrorists, extremists and insurgents do not face such constraints," he said.
The Home Minister said Multi Agency Centre (MAC), a coordinating agency on counter-terrorism, has been perationalised under the Intelligence Bureau along with 29 Subsidiary MACs which have been set in different states.
He urged the naxals to abjure violence as there was no place for an armed liberation struggle in a republican democracy.
Chidambaram said a number of measures which were "overdue" have been initiated in past nine months to strengthen the state and central police forces.
"The measures that we have taken are long overdue and, in a sense, exposed the neglect and tardiness of the past. The Centre and the States must share the blame for the remissness of the past," he said.
"Before the second conference, we had requested State Governments to respond to a questionnaire on the progress made in implementing the decisions of the first conference. I regret to report that only 12 States sent us their responses," he said.
Earlier in his speech, Intelligence Bureau Director Rajeev Mathur said that there was no room for complacency as sponsored terrorism from across the border continued.
He also paid tributes to 685 police and security personnel who laid down their lives last year.

And what is Chidambaram doing-he has neither contained the J-e-M and L-e-T nor the disgruntled lements in the country like the Maoists.It is a shame that these have got the upper hand while Chidambaram goes round the country telling us this-small consolation to have politicians like him at the helm of the Home Ministry.So now he wants to expose the neglect and taridness of the past(read BJP)an institutionalised mechanism for intelligence sharing and operation.But why spare time and efforts when intelligence inputs are of no validity when action is taken on is basis .Chidamabarm must realise that no number of mechanism,strategies et al can contain terrorism unless his government sheds the muslim phobia-the cops are thoroughly demoralised and they are very aware that the Congress and its allies have adopted a soft policy towards terrorists just to appease the Muslims.So why all this big talk and a simulated concern?Will the UPA government fight terrorism without fear or favor?
NOTE the sickular choice of words. Instead calling Islamic Jehadis and their supporters as TRAITORS, he chose the word disgruntled elements. Congress has turned TRAITOR of our Mother Land BHARAT. BHARAT MATA KI JAI. DEATH TO TRAITORS. Shame on impotent media who are spreading lies and supporting traitors.
Can anybody trust this fellow after the statement he delivered from the US, which said that IB reports should not be taken as evidence of terror links? If that is so, on what is he basing his conclusion about the local help? Are the Indians such fools to believe him?
If the past year is anything to go by, what the Minister means by Swift and Decisive is : SWIFTLY go crying to the USA and DECISIVELY hold more talks with Pakistan!The voters of India could have PROMPTLY removed this Goverment from power instead they chose to IGNORANTLY vote them back in! Its just words fellow Indians!
as long as congress and some like minded parties appeasing this so called minorities,INDIA is going to be terrorised internally and externally.
Only words no action is seen from all the politicians they only act as per their needs ..... its high time to have a military rule at least for 10 years only then v can root out these terror outfits, corruption, corrupt politicians. otherwise only debates like this will be on all new channels and papers
PC has crashed, infected by deadly virus. Please quarantine the PC by changing the mother board and also the chip.
PC spoke differently last year. In the aftermath of 26/11 incidents,Modi said locals help terrorists from PAK. PC rediculed him then in the most arrogant mnner. He even said Modi had friends in Pakistan. He questioned Modis motives as well. Then PC was FM. Now being the Home minister entrusted with the responsibility of weeding out terrorism, instead talking about the steps taken, he finds excuses. This man thinks people will forget his talks and accepts whatever he says. Poor PC, the foul way in which he got thro in the elections still haunts him. He is going to be another Sivraj patil. Unless the Govt changes its policy of appeasing the muslims for votes and ignoring their terrorit links, no home minister can do his job effectively. Let the govt hang Afsal first, they will learn their lessons. As far local support, it is only the Bangaldeshis living here who are supporting the let for money. If you chuk them out this problem will be over. But this govt will not do it for votes
Congress partu and their allies support muslim terrorist. As long this minorities appeasement policy continues, we will be hit by terrorists. When ever a muslim terrorist is killed the whole news channels, human rights, and congress leaders including our PM start shedding tears for the terrorist and find fault with law enforcement agencies..
PC and congress party have been drubbed in the gujrat by-polls. Perhaps it has something to do with the home minister's statement that intelligence inputs are just information not conclusive proofs. perhaps people felt that they cannot trust the home minister/UPA/congress party which has no faith in it's own intelligence agencies.
Wrong heading...The correct heading should be "LeT, JeM getting help from Inactive and inefficient Administration and Spineless leaders"
Guys who should have left in 1947, decided to stay and make our life misreable. And Mr Saif... the day RSS gives up its policy of non voilence you guys would find real tough. Please dont try patience of common indian.
More than 60 years now we hve been troubled by Pak.Why cant we hve an exclusive Int agency to look after Pk linked domestic as well as external intelligence istead of the perk loving and do nothing RAW.
Home minister wasting his time for issuing the same copy of statement that issues every time regarding terrorisam.I have the same copy and hope whole world have that....Congiees, please leave this issue to police. You got elected as ministers, MPs,MLAs etc,. whatelese do you want? Do you think you are working for people? Sorry, Indians are working for themselves and feeding you and your families. Please think...
If you talk about Kashmiris suffering then why the hell they're not controlling their kids who become a part of terrorist activities... And if they have to avenge Please follow the Law, But nothing can Justify Killings. Why torturing the entire country. "These terrirists are feeling proud as no one has started revolting against them(neither hindus, sikhs, jainis, buddhists, christians). If people from these family start taking revenge against the families of the terrorist then I'm afraid Muslims will become minority not only in India but in the entire World. You always forget the respect we have given to APJ, Deelip Kumar, SRK, Salman, Aamir, Javed Akhtar,
LeT and JeM taking credit for all the terror attacks in India sounds hollow.Army will not have a tough time to finish Pakistan off if they are allowed play it right.Unfortunately our governments through out plays the spoiler.When we had Kargil war in hand which was forced on us by them why we had to stop war on recovering just that area which was occupied by them.We should have continued that war till whole of Kashmir is retaken.Since That is the bone of contention between us.The same happened in 1971 as well.We returned the territory we captured in that war.we could have held back till all ouroutstanding territorial issues resloved.It is not the government leaders who is paying with their lives in all terror attacks or war.Even now when we read something like our soldiers lost their lives in thousands fighting these militants ,the country should sit up think how to put a stop to it.Not by pleading with them to stop this . Or going around telling everyone to get us out of this
Hon.Home minister's comments in Washington regarding Isharat Jahan made me think whether he is representing India or Congress
We are listening the same thing since last ten months after 26/11 attack in Mumbai. they only can misguide and mislead the people of India, this is only an effort to deviate people's attention from their misdeeds and inefficiency on the part of GoI. Now China has also started infiltration in Laddakh and NE Region and the day is not far off when we are to witness more partitions, violence. Pakistan fired from Rocket Launchers at Attari Border, we are simply in the process of drawing attention of International Community,will they come to our rescue? If we are unable defend our Country or safeguard National interest who else can. Congress has one and only one agenda to be in the saddle of powers by hook or crook, it is only Congress who has put Country's interest in jeopardy, same thing our PM is doing have not come out with any concrete solutions. Now it is HIGH TIME our GoI should act firmly irrespectively whether they win or loose. Even if they loose they will win the public confidence
India should for get to hold common wealth games where there are so great threats from terrorists, no foreigner would like this type of climate for their life, as admitted by home minister. Let Kila Rai Pur games be held in these stadiums.
Chidambaran has spoken the truth at last but has used euphemism to disguise what he really means. These "disgruntled elements" in India are the numerous islamic terror groups and sleeper cells which have been allowed to flourish for the past 50 years by successive congress governments both at the central and state level. if he is serious about counter terror operations and internal security, he should wipe out these groups ruthlessly and a strong anti terror law should be passed immidiately.

JAI JAWAN!JAI BHARAT MATA!JAI UNNIKRISHNAN!
(Apastambha Dharma Sutra III,10-26): “the tongue of a Shudra, who spoke evil about a Brahmin should be cut off. A Shudra who dared to assume a position of equality with the first three castes was to be flogged”. “If a Shudra over-heard a recitation of the Vedas, molten tin was to be poured into his ears; if he repeated the Vedas his tongue should be cut and if he remembered Vedic hymns, his body was to be torn into pieces”.PANCHVANISH BRAHMAN 3-1/11 says : “ even if a Shudra acquired wealth, he must always remain a slave, His main job is to wash the feet of higher caste”. Tulsidas, a Brahman, in his Ramayana writes : Even if a Shudra is learned and virtuous, he should not be given respect and honour”.MANU XMRITI X,129 says that: “ That no collection of wealth was to be made by a Shudra, even though he may be capable, for s Shudra who has acquired wealth would pain a Brahman, and that Brahman may appropriate by force the property of the Shudra”.
A Jehadi output of Christians and Muslims is reading Sanskrit. You infidel keep ranting jehad which you are born to do. We know how to deal with bigots and cross breeds like you. Anyone who creates fissure in our society will be sent underground and DEAD. Bharat Mata Ki Jai!
Main theme of Hindu religion is 'Lokha Samastha Sukhino Bhavanthu' and 'Vasudaiva Kutumbakam'. It is better we ignore any thing other than this Philosophy. India is the only country where the majority religion is fighting for thier rights,,This is itself indicates how tolerant Hindu society is..
dont go into the glory of hinduism,the hinduism is a gloryfied religion thousands of years before christianity,people talk about pedophelia in catholic church,having sex with young boys and molesting young girls,praying in tribal areas and converting peopleby exploiting their vulnerability,please dont talk about the great religion hinduism you dont know anything about.JAI HINDU MAHASAGAR THAT EXPLAIN THE GLORY OF HINDUISM,JAI HIND JAI BHARTAT MATA,JAI JAWAN,WE ARE PROUD OF A CRISTIAN BECOMING OUR DEFENCE MINISTER BECAUSE WE ARE HINDUS,PROUD HINDUS.THEIR IS NOTHING LIKE SHUDRA IN MY INDIA I HOPE AND PREY ONE DAY A PATRIOTIC SHUDRA ONE DAY WILL BECOME THE PRIMEMINISTER OF WORLD LARGEST DEMOCRACY HINDUSTAN
Where did you dig this up? Is any hindu taught this? Do people actually behave like this now? Open your eyes. People are slowly coming out of this caste based discrimination. In the next 50 years when people are more literate hopefully all caste related stuff will be history. I would def. say hinduism is most welcoming religion, other wise there would not be so many religions living freely here. By the way do not forget that almost Muslims and Christians in India were forcibly converted Hindus or were lured using economic opportunities. I would suggest you to revert back to your roots and be happy in life
Krishna in Mahabaratha says,no one in born brahmin or a kshatriya.He is because of his karm(means doings).Caste is based on occupation
George, You may be infatuated with the Books... But, the Hindus are not! That is the difference between the Hindus and the others! True terrorists are those who call India their home and belittle their own ancestors, her culture, her people, her traditions and her patience with diversity! With friends like them, India does not need enemies.
I can understand your frustration as how to break India,and make Hindus be ashamed.This Manu sutra is not religious text,infact hindus do not have single Text which they blindly believe unlike semetic religions.We are guided by Enlightnment through knowledge.Truth Alone with truimph,not faslse propoaganda by Church funded missionaries or Mullah from madrassa.
PC and the congress party need to reflect on why they lost the by polls in gujarat.perhaps it had something to do with their stand that intelligence inputs are just information and not conclusive proof. people felt that they could not trust a party and a home minister ,who has no faith in his intelligence agency's assessments
