Centre not doing enough to secure our leaders: BJP

"We should have some consensus over the matters of national security like other countries. We should not issue statements which embolden terrorists," he said.

BJP, he said, wants a tough law to deal with terror cases, saying India was the only country fighting terrorism without an exclusive law to deal with it. If voted to power, he said, BJP would take necessary steps on the matter.

Delhi Police had yesterday arrested top Indian Mujahideen terrorist Zia Ur Rehman alias Waqas, a Pakistani national wanted in connection with several bombings, and three associates from Rajasthan.

Asked whether the terrorists had plans to target BJP's Prime Ministerial candidate Narendra Modi, Special Commissioner (Special Cell) S N Shrivastav had said that "present level of investigation doesn't point towards it."

Trivedi today said, "We had expected that the Centre would step up the security of Modi and our other leaders. It is probably not happening. We had also submitted a memorandum to the Home Minister over the issue but it appears that the government is not doing the needful."

Trivedi referred to the terror attacks in the Modi's rally at Patna in Bihar in October last year and said it happened even though two of its leaders attending the meeting, its prime ministerial candidate Modi and president Rajnath Singh, are NSG protectees.

"Terrorists are feeling encouraged," he said, because many political parties were making statements which embolden them, be it the "sympathy" expressed with the terrorists killed in Batla encounter or with the convict in Parliament attack case or going to the homes of terrorists in Azamgarh to "sympathise" with their families.
