Put NCTC on hold: Jayalalithaa
CHENNAI: Going on the lines of Mamata Tamil Nadu CM J Jayalalithaa also asked the central government to hold National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC) law.
She asked Manmohan Singh to put the NCTC on hold untill the meeting of all Chief Ministers and a unanimous decision from there.The CMs’ meeting will be scheduled for April 16.
The NCTC, Banerjee had written to the PM on Saturday, was a “very sensitive issue” and should be the only subject on agenda at a meeting so all the states can express their views.
Most CM’s are expressing their reservations against NCTC.She reiterated that not addressing the states’ concerns would adversely affect the country’s federal structure.
“It is indeed unfortunate that without taking into consideration the views and sentiments of various chief ministers, the NCTC is sought to be steamrolled into existence,” she wrote. “I request that the formation of the NCTC may first be held in abeyance and a separate meeting of chief ministers convened only to discuss this matter.”
