We should not always be looking for enemies outside: Khurshid

New Delhi, Sep 14 (PTI) Indian Law Minister Salman
Khurshid Wednesday backed Home Minister P Chidambaram's
statement that cross-border outfits were not the only source
of terror attacks in India.
"I don't think the Home Minister has intended to restrict
homeground terror to any particular religious group. It is a
very profound and sound statement. We should not always be
looking for enemies outside. It is much worse to have an enemy
within," Khurshid told reporters here.
In an interview to BBC, Chidambaram had said "we can no
longer point to cross-border terrorism as a source of terror
attacks in India."
Khurshid said if someone from within questioned the
safety and security of the country, "it is much worse."
"I support his statement. I stand by him".
Khurshid was asked how he, as the Minister for Minority
Affairs, felt about Chidambaram's statement.
