On December 13, PM talks tough on terror
On December 13, when India remembered the attack on the Parliament, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh spoke tough on terror. He said no country can afford not to act against terror as it threatens national security. "In certain circumstances, states are both entitled and obliged to take steps that derogate from human right principles. We should not feel discouraged. Certain rights and freedoms can be derogated from, but only to the extent necessary to meet security threat," the Prime Minister said.
