Chief ministers' conference on national security

• On one hand, the government talks about fighting terrorism and Naxalism, and on the other you don't give us the necessary amount of money. Monetary help given to Madhya Pradesh has been decreased.
• Not only Naxalism and terrorism, fake currency is also a probem. The government is not paying attention to it.
• We have objections to NCTC as we believe that the state should do the state's job.
  

• All insurgent groups have links with the Maoists including Paresh Barua. There are 36 police stations over nine districts in Assam, which are affected by the Maoists

Rajnath Singh ji has called for a celebration of BJP's victory in Guj by-polls. Honoured to be part of celebrations at his residence at 2 PM

• NCTC has been removed from the Intelligence Bureau. We have also modified some of its powers.
• I deeply regret that some chief ministers oppose NCTC even in its present form
• No Congress chief minister has opposed the NCTC
• On BJP win in Gujarat: You win but with which candidate? You win with a gun toting MP (speaking about Vitthal Radadiya). It's nothing to be proud of.
• I take serious exceptions of the statements being made against CBI's probe of Ishrat Jehan case
• The Gujarat government is interfering with CBI probe. To ensure that truth does not come out
• There is monthly account of what the Home Ministry is doing for internal security. That is one half of the white paper Modi is asking for. The report after every chief ministers' conference is the other part of the white paper.
• Narendra Modi wants to bring back TADA (Terrorist and Disruptive Activities (Prevention) Act) and POTA (Prevention of Terrorism Act). Why doesn't he say so clearly?
• UPA is opposed to POTA
• There is no nayi-nayi agency. We are not creating multiplicity of agencies.
• We formed MAC (Multi-Agency Centre) and today Modi himself praises that.
  
• We formed NIA, Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister thanked the agency for bringing out the truth of Liyaqat Case. Everybody wants NIA.
  

• There were by polls for four Assembly and two Lok Sabha seats. Congress had won all of them but today people of Gujarat have given Congress a fitting reply. Congress is in bad shape.
  
• I thank all voters for this win.
  
• This is most probably the last chief minister conference under UPA.
• The government should bring a white paper on how many suggestions by chief ministers have been acted upon. This has become a ritual.
• There should be two-pronged approach to tackle Naxalism. Along with areas affected by Naxals, we should also keep a watch on areas that are on Naxals' target. 
• The Prime Minister and the Home Minister did not speak on NCTC. But it was on agenda and I would like to speak on it.
• I feel that making new institutions destabilises system. 
• I made a very grave allegation today. That they talk of national security but their actions are of political security.
• The formation of new institutions is to serve this purpose
• The Centre has no faith in state governments. They held the panchayat readily but when it comes to state govt they ask many questions
• I also said that the government is constantly weakening the federal structure
• All states work together with the Centre but the Big Brother attitude adopted by the central government is not good
  
  
  

• I am not against NCTC but it should be cleared through the Parliament
• Maoism is not a problem of individual states, there is a need for a national strategy
• Maoism should be looked as a form of terrorism. More lives have been lost because of Maoist violence than terrorism

• I welcome all the chief minister and all distinguished partners to this conference
• The meeting today has been called in the aftermath of brutal attack on Congress workers in Chhattisgarh. Such violence has no place in democracy
• Centre and states need to join hands to tackle this problem
• I must point out that challenge of Naxalism has received our serious attention
• A number of measure have been taken as our two-pronged approach
• We have adopted track strategy. These include improving the police, infrastructure and development. We have achieved some success.  
• Even when stressing on police action we must ensure people living in these areas get the benefits of the development scheme
• We have worked on the development of the Naxal-affected areas. And we have been successful to quite an extent
  
• There has been a decrease in number of people who died due to Naxal violence and increase in Naxals who have surrendered
• I hope state governments will work effectively with the Centre to tackle this problem
• 2012 saw a significant improvement in security situation in Jammu and Kashmir. Our attempt to stop infiltration has resulted in decrease in terrorist violence by one-third in comparison to 2011
• The implementation of various infrastructure schemes is working well
• The development of north-east region remains difficult due to insurgency. There has quite a progress in dialogue with insurgents and separatists groups
• Communal and secretarial violence has increased in the last year
• Crime against women and children need more focus
• There has been an increase in communal and sectarian violence in 2012. Maintaining communal harmony is imperative
• We have recently enacted several laws providing stringent punishment for crimes against women and children. 
• The time has come now who see the challenges of terrorism, communal violence, insurgency in a holistic manner.
  
• I urge everyone to work together to effectively tackle these situations.
  
  

• The May 25 Maoist attack in Chhattisgarh was an attack on democracy
• Development cannot happen without security
• Jammu and Kashmir has shown a marked improvement
• But jihadi terror groups continue pose a threat to India
• Militancy is growing again in Punjab
• Pakistan is trying to revive Punjab militancy
• Nepal and Bangladesh borders are being used by Pakistan-based terror groups
• The Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad and Indian Mujahideen are regularly funding terror through the Gulf and Western Union to fund terror attacks in India
• Number of terror training camps in Pakistan occupied Kashmir seems to have reduced
• Fake Indian currency notes are being produced in a neighboring country and smuggled in
