Patna, (Bihar Times): Disagreeing with the Prime Minister Manmohan Singh chief minister Nitish Kumar on Monday opposed the move to create a Federal Crime Agency to investigate cases of terrorists’ attack in India.
Speaking to newsmen at the Janata Darbar on Monday he said that such agency would not serve any purpose. Effective policing, maintaining social and communal harmony and eliminating unnecessary fears among people can help tackle terrorism in a better way, he said.
The chief minister said that Centre should fulfil its responsibility and the state should cooperate with it. This cooperation is essential for fighting the menace of terrorism.
On Saturday the Prime Minister floated the idea of Federal Crime Agency. However, Kumar said that the country already had a Central Bureau of Investigation with specialized cells to look after such issues. The Centre should tell where is the problem in investigation by the existing agencies? he asked.
Nitish said that the presence of central para-military forces in Bihar is much less and that the state had overcome this problem by creating Special Auxiliary Police.
