   Chief Minister Narendra Modi has written a strongly-worded letter to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh in protest against the removal of the topic of terrorism from the agenda of the forthcoming meeting of the National Integration Council (NIC).
   He said terrorism has proved to be the biggest challenge to the country, and the security of the innocent citizens was the topmost priority of the Centre as well as the state governments. In such a situation, he said, the removal of terrorism from the agenda hints at ill intentions or perhaps the Centre's lack of seriousness about national security and unity in the face of recurrent terrorist attacks.
   Modi reportedly said that terrorism should be the focal agenda in an NIC meeting, as it is a proxy war.

Modi ji is the only leader in Bharat who is serious about fighting and destroying the menace of terrorism. Biased Indian Media should stop being so critical of Modi ji.

      BJP called the three parties "cheerleaders of terrorism" for coming out in support of the SIMI activist arrested in connection with Ahmedabad serial blasts. "The BJP's charge that the UPA and its allies are soft on terror now witnesses conclusive evidence with the visit of MPs Ram Naresh Yadav (Congress), Akbar Ahmad Dumpy (BSP) and Abu Azmi (SP) to the Azamgarh village of Mufti Abu Bashar, the terrorist responsible for blasts in Ahmedabad," BJP spokesperson Rajiv Pratap Rudy told reporters here.
      The party was also critical of Syed Ahmad Bukhari, Imam of Delhi's Jama Masjid, for accompanying the MPs on their visit. "Congress, BSP and SP have become cheerleaders of terror organizations, groups and individuals who are mercilessly targeting and killing innocents," Rudy said. "Is this overt, disgusting, display of support to elements of terror an attempt to influence the judicial process?" he asked.
