Amritsar: Terming the terror attack in Dinanagar town of Gurdaspur district a “dastardly act”, Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal on Monday said that the country needed to draft a national policy against terrorism.
“We cannot afford the huge loss of life and property in such cowardly acts. So we must draft a national policy against terrorism,” he told the media .
“Militancy is a national problem, not a state problem. As a national problem, it needs to be tackled with national policies,” Badal said. The Punjab chief minister said the incident had nothing to do with the “revival of terrorism in Punjab as it was an act of a group active outside the state”.
