Pak-based terror groups will be defeated: Chidambaram

New Delhi, Feb 7 (PTI) India on Sunday described
Pakistan-based terrorist groups as "dark forces" which are
"implacably" opposed to the country and asserted that they
would be defeated whenever confronted.

Home Minister of India P Chidambaram said militant groups
like Lashkar-e-Taiba and Hizbul Mujahideen, responsible for
innumerable deadly terror strikes in India, held a meeting at
Muzaffarabad in Pakistan-occupied-Kashmir on Thursday and it
was clear that these groups were "implacably" opposed to
India.
"Their weapons are mayhem and violence; and their goal is
forcible annexation of Kashmir. Let me make it clear that
these dark forces will not succeed in their designs. We will
defeat them whenever and wherever we confront them," he said
in his opening statement at the Conference of Chief Ministers
on Internal Security here.
Chidambaram said there has been no significant terrorist
attack and no significant communal violence in the last 14
months which was a matter of satisfaction but that did not
mean that the country was not vulnerable to terror strikes.
"That, I hasten to add, does not mean that there has been
no violence or that we are not vulnerable to terrorist
attacks; or that there are no triggers for communal
disturbances.
"We must remain vigilant. We must continue the work on
enhancing capacity. And we must reform our institutions and
systems of governance in order to pre-empt terrorist threats
and prevent communal discord," he said. (More) PTI ACB
