"As far as internal security is concerned, there is preparedness, be it Army, paramilitary or the police. Then there is assessment of threat... But we need to think beyond, apart from preparedness, apart from policy making, third is perception of threat.
"For so many months, we have been having debates about what has happened in JNU as if we have not been able to understand what happened there. Everyone has understood but when some try to feign ignorance deliberately, that is regrettable," BJP national spokesperson, Sambit Patra, said addressing a seminar on 'National Security Threats' here.
Patra also dismissed JNUSU President Kanhaiya Kumar's popularity saying it is not going to last for long as "to become hero, one has to go through a lot of grind and doesn't become a hero overnight."
In a veiled attacked on Congress, he said that some people try to rake up communalism and secularism in every thing.
And Kanhaiya is not saying all this, not JNU students, if they were saying so, we would have held a debate on that. But when people who remained ministers in earlier government are saying so, it becomes a matter of concern... Yes, this is a democratic country, that is why they are 44 (inference to the number of members of Congress in Lok Sabha) today," he said.
