Speaking at the Conference of Chief Ministers on Internal Security in New Delhi, BJP leader and Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi said, "By setting up the National Investigation Agency, the Central government now obviously wants to take over upon itself the responsibility of fighting terror by sidetracking the states." He said the NIA has become a matter of "mazak" (joke) since it would take at least a month for the government to decide "which and what case to take up" once NIA starts functioning.
Bihar Chief Minister Nitish Kumar, who belongs to JD-U, said consultations with states should have preceded enactment of the National Investigation Agency Act and other anti-terror laws. He wanted that NIA be barred from taking up any case not relating to terrorism without the consent of the state government.
"It appears the recent spurt in terrorist activities has led the Centre to rush through various legislations without adequate consultation with state governments," he said.
"The anti-terror measures taken by Union Government after the Mumbai attacks were encroachment on state's right and were against the federal structure of the country." He said that there are many lacunae in the NIA Act and "states could have also been involved in the decision process before enactment of the Act."

after a lots of attack Indian gov. finally relished that we need a law but modi statement is not fit in such picture. I think modi forget about Gujarat and kargil war.
So many Jokes Mr Modi,including freeing Azar Mehmood after Kandahar hijacking . So one more joke will not make that much of a difference
Why? Modi wants his own POTA? Why police should be in the State List? To arrest and herass the oponents? I want this NIA need NOT only be a National Investigation Agency, It should be National Internal Security Authority(NISA), like the defence foreces who are defending the national from the external threats. This NISA should protect the nation from internal distrubances and threats like at Mumbai. The Police under the State Governments should be handed over to NISA and protect the state as it is required. Then only the real Policng of the country will take place in the internal security of the country.NO INTERFERENCES OF THE STATE GOVERNMENT OF THE DAY.
The new law will be loaded with lots of opportunities for beuraucratic interferences,egoclashes,personal interests of high and mighty andwithout close co-operation and co-ordination withthe state police the law will not be effective but a burden on the economy.Politicians will vy each other to have their proteges for plum posts
What ever happened to CBI? It could have been easily entrusted with national responsibility and can investigate along with State agencies,which it is already doing, instead of creating another bureaucracy. It seems answer to any problem including terrorism as far as government is concerned is to create another department. Perhaps they should also have department of home work since many kids are not doing their home work now a days being busy watching TV.
These state ministers are trying to save their SKINS by not allowing NIA to enter in state as it will expose state govt weakness in handling. State politicians always fear of Central investigations be it CBI / NIA.
How is NIA going to be different from CBI ? If NIA will look at only terrorism cases and CBI other crimes, then are we going to have several more such agencies ? one for tackling terrorism using RDX, one for terrorism with hijacking, one for terrrorism with kidnapping, etc ?Ridiculous. At the bottom of it, NIA will draw its staff from CBI only, then where is the need for another agency, thus weakening efforts by CBI ?Such incompetencies only can be expected from incompetent rulers and party !!
Modi, if it is a joke enjoy it. We Indians like jokes more than your hate speech and murders.
All of these attacks would not have occured if Modi had not propogated genocide. He is a joke himself.
modi is the only nationalist hero in indian politics who is noncorrupt, potecy, strength, willpower to fight terror, and make india safe. otherwise congress are like no.6 ,impotent, strengthless, weak, no willpower to fight terror, instead are acting as a sleeper cell to facilitate terror, proof is not giving fansi to afzal guru thus giving support to muslim terrorist for vote bank.
You talk about vote bank, two terrorist were killed in delhi batla house, where else pragya and purohit co. got bail it is congress appeasement policy isn't it. Afzal guru is not on vacation at goa beaches, he is languishing in the jail and dying everyday with the though of death. This is the worst punishment any one can deserve. Now about modi, what do you think he has done great, only that he allowed massacre of thousand of muslims, that is the only reason you guys like him, nothing else. Thousand of people killed and 20-30 bomb blast in the state and yet he is a great hero for fools like you. coz he knows nerves of people like you, who are easy fodder for him. He will only give you one word and you will fall dead for him. The reason we are called third world country because we still give more importance to religion that development and prosperity. anyways, for me he is a killer and needed to be kept in a jail. Jai Hind
Mr Modi is right in raising relevant issues before India goes red faced with poorly though out NIA. There is risk it would act as a Gestapo preying on Indians for political reasons. The structure and the chain of command with resources has to be clearly defined. If Mr Modi has raised the concerns they should be addressed. It should not be a blanket yes like it happenned with US where no one could question the evidence against Saddam and let US get mired into Iraq conflict while it should have been in Pakistan.It is not that India does not have agencies. It is the bottlenecks within these agencies and poor coordination that makes the effort a waste.Lastly what is the point of all these agencies if the culprits are not punished but made into state guests for the fear of offending certain groups.There should be a mechanism of swift justice.
Modi should become the prime Minister of India ,as he is the only person who can take action against the anti-national forces which are raising the head in the current congress led Govt.
Modi is the only leader as at present, to stop terrorism
NARENDRA MODI IS THE BIGGEST JOKE (READ EMBARRASSMENT) OF INDIA..
dear mr shrikant, because of people like you ,mother INDIA is suffering.
I would like to know what is NIA going to do which CBI, IB, RAW etc etc could not do??!!! NIA is an eye wash what you need is" will" and unfortunately that is sometihng UPA has none. If pakistan is buying time so is UPA. iNDIA will have another useless corrupt ageny !!Modi is right it will be up to the center to decide what is a terriost case and what is not it is going to be a tool in their hand to punish non congress states.
Modi is a national joke. All political parties give the weitage to their leaders according to followship...but they can not dare who is the BIG JOKEr????
Modi is hiro of hindustan.He has ability to stop terrorism
The ever enlightened Mr.Modi, has spoken. Like he is clean as a whistle. Excuse me, but when 35 bombs went off in Gujarat, what was his government in gujarat doing. Having afternoon siesta!. How come his state had no clue when bombs were planted?! Modi tries to portray that himself, the savior of terror in this country. Please first make your state secure before talking about terror in other states and the whole country!! He has brought progress to Gujarat and there is no denying that. But please suddenly because of this, it doesnt make him holier than thou, blood on his hands, with the state-sponsored genocide, bombs going off in the state..m sorry but he has got way too many bones in the closet just to get away scot free. Holier than thou, my foot!
UPA hasn't allowed strong anti-terror law passed by Gujrat Assembly with 2/3 majority for the last 4-5 years! All to please pro-terrorist muslim voters. That should explain why still terrorists with the indirect backing of UPA, ISI etc. are able to plant bombs in Gujarat. UPA undid POTA and only when they smell a possible Hindu -backlash, they are pretending to act on terror. I am sure even these terror laws will be withdrawn once UPA comes back to power and find no hindu- backlash as in recent Delhi elections. National interest is secondary to vote bank politics for all politicians who talk about 'secularism' 'minority welfare' and 'minority grivences' etc. Hindus, please look at Pakistani Hindus fate, all young Hindu girls are being abducted and converted after forced marriage or sold to Saudi sheiks. And they are brothers of Indian muslims.. so be preperad to suffer if UPA continues to misrule India. Remember Hindu population in Pak went down from 15% to 0.25% where as Muslim population in India went up from 6% to 15% now. Bangladesh no different than Pak. case! What prevents Indian muslims from doing the same as their blood relatives in Pak. or Bangla did if they can? No 'secularist' has an honest answer for this.
60 years of soft terror rule cannot be eradicated like a magic -pls understand congress always defends their softness by saying even powerful US could not prevent 9/11 attack and the forget that after that not a single blast has occured. Whereas in Bharath we have a serial blasts like Thulasi serials monthly/weekly and may be daily soon
Without a total authority for these forces to act, they will definitely be a joke !
Better late than never that the NIA has come into existence ! Now do we ned to fight about its jurisdiction ? The grandstanding from BJP leader Modi is of the worst type and needs to be condemned. At a time when the nation needs unity in fighting teror,these leaders are helping Pakistan . They did it once before when they released dreaded terrorists instead of sending the NSG as done in 26/11. The nation's interest comes second to their private agendas.
The first thing Modi should understand is that it is an intial process of enforcing a law.Simply criticizing it soon it is appeared is just an attempt to attract media attention.He is the same 'nationalist' guy who appeared in clean kurta in Mumbai soon the terrorists entered Taj and Trident and criticized the centre for failure.He didn't even recollect the bombs blasted in Gujarat just few months prior to Mumbai attack.Nobody criticized him for his failure and he was just watching his hands cross folded when police found 19 bombs, some of them even on the tree' as if it was plnated by his nexus.Leaders like him is real shame for our nation and i think he is the first CM who was refused an entry by USA.We can not expect anything better from the people who trielessly work to devide our nation with their divisive policies.They didn't ever show their loyalty to the nation even at the time of our freedom fight.They were not in the picture though they were popped up in 1925!
Sorry my friend, Only gujurati people can understand his words, coz most of the time his speeches are in gujurati language, hahahaha. and regarding true India, you claim to be a true indian, but you support anti-indian figures. Anyways, I agree with hasan for one thing, Leaders like modi are real shame for India. Jai hind
Yea..true...true Indians understand pseudo nationalist Sanghi Modi's words whose political obligation goes in balance with RSS's ideology.And dont any true Indians forget that RSS was not part our freedom fight nor it could hail a single freedom fighter in those days when Indians(Hindus-Muslims-Sikhs and all others)fought and shed their blood for this nation's freedom.
Modi is knowing when the next terrorist attack is going to take place, I have seen these people crticise about the security of the counrty and in few days the attack take place. If modi is that clever then how did the terrorist came from gujrat and attacked Mumbai, he should answer first then show how clever he is.
BJP is the main opposition party and has the right to raise the issue of terror to the people in India. If the main opposition trying to raise the concern about the blunders of the government you should not stamp it as politicizing the issue. We will be united when country is in a crisis. But it doesn't mean that opposition should keep quite on all the deeds of an irresponsible Government.
Please read Modi's statements as an Indian national. You will realize whatever he said is right. You will realise how the UPA government cheating Indians by giving hopes when the crucial election is around the corner.
lol, think the other way, opposition is trying to keep all good steps low profile
Please read Modi's statment as an Indian. You too will realize that he is just politicizing the issue just to prove that he has a tougher approach towards terrorism. He is just another all talk, no solutions guy.
He has thougher approach against terrorism because he make no difference between Hindu Muslims like Congress is doing today
we need strong laws and political will to counter terrorism .I dare the NIA to investigate the notorious Marad carngae as a litmus test . I am sure they will not do that
Indeed, after remaining inactive for more than four and a half years, the UPA government has rushed through a slew of measures without even a token consultation with the state governments. These are issues that need to be evolved out of a broad consensus. In view of the urgency, the government should have sought to accelerate the process, but sadly the process of consultation itself did not occur - that is definetly a source of grievance for the state governments. The government has ample scope to introduce such acts even when the Parliament is not session. At least now, the central government should sit down, understand the grievances and evolve proper amendments to the laws. Also there are complaints that many sections are rather vague, these lacunae have to be remedied.
Hopeless.. You undermine a org even before it is formed.. wondering how well will that org be allowed to function.. Every one needs power.. No one worries about the people.. Will you guys ever think what is good for the country than how will this affect my power and next election??????
This is in reference to the Mr. Narendra Modi's statement on NIA. NIA is conceived to speed up the trans-state matters which not only includes internal security matters but also inevitable for ensuring national stability
Beyond any doubts this Congress/UPA is the worst and weakest Govt India ever had.They are working against the interests of the nation's security,unity and defence.Palter and pander through deception and cheap appeasements they have driven the Nation into too fragile state.Its not only ex-HM Patil to be blamed for not hanging AfzalGuru but all congress leaders like Sonia,MMohanSingh and their selfish accomplices like AmarSingh,ArjunSinghMulayamsingh,Laloo,Paswan, Karunanidhi and many known traitors.Appeasement os muslims has ruined Indian unity and pride all for vote-bank policy.There is no excuse or reason for amnesty for this crime,most derogatory act of attacking Indian Parliament/sovereignty.As the matter of fact he should've been hanged within 24 hours after SC verdict.Shame to Cong/UPA for letting nation down in the eyes of world community.
