INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES HAVE FAILED TO TRACK TERRORISTS
Chandigarh September 28:
Concerned over the failure of intelligence agencies in curbing terrorists from striking at will, BJP leader and Punjab state chief of the party’s investor cell Sukhminderpal Singh Grewal said here on Wednesday that the misuse of electronic surveillance equipment and the Internet had to be stopped immediately by introducing tough laws like POTA.
Talking to the media, Grewal said terrorists were taking the advantage of technology and the BJP investor cell had decided to write to the heads of states of 20 important countries that had the high usage of the Internet and cell phones to collaborate with each other to prevent terrorism. He further added the government must restrict contents that help terrorists to make bombs easily. “You visit Goggle or Youtube and it will give you detailed instructions on how to make a bomb,” he said.
Grewal further added that even social networking sites were being used to pass messages between militant groups and the government needed to be more vigilant. He cautioned people to take preventive steps in making their Internet connections safe as terrorists could use an insecure connection to communicate with their partners or send unsolicited mail through their network like it happened in Mumbai recently.
The government, he said, had to pay heed to cyber terrorism, an area neglected by the intelligence agencies and exploited by the terrorists.
