Integrated plan to curb Naxalism, terror soon: Rajnath

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said that the Government would soon come up with a blueprint unfolding a comprehensive integrated action plan to tackle problems like Naxalism, separatism and terrorism.

On his first visit to his lucknow parliamentary constituency after being sworn-in as Union Home Minister here on Saturday, Singh said: “The Central Government is sincere towards the internal security of the country and the Home Ministry has started work on a comprehensive plan. Efforts will be made to take balanced action.”

Earlier, Singh was given a rousing welcome at the Choudhary Charan Singh airport as party workers gathered in huge numbers to receive their newly-elected MP and Union Home Minister. A number of felicitation functions dotted the city as party workers jostled with one another to catch the eye of Singh.

Talking to reporters, the Union Home Minister refused to make any comments on law and order situation in Uttar Pradesh at this point of time. He, however, added that the Home Ministry had all the details of the Baduan gangrape and murder case and necessary directions had been given to the state Government. “My ministry has reports of all the states but I will not comment on any state,” he said.

Appreciating the efforts of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to improve the image of the country, he explained, “After Independence, it was for the first time that the heads of SAARC countries were invited for swearing in ceremony. By doing this, we have given a clear message that we want a cordial relation with them.”

He went on to say that the  NDA Government was committed to resolving the security issues faced by the country, but it could not be done in “one or two years” and more time was required to set right the system “paralysed” under UPA regime.

“I want to assure the people that so far as security of the entire country is concerned then whatever the government is required to do, we will do that. All efforts will be made to rid the problems through which the country is passing,” he added while addressing party workers.Singh expressed gratitude to the people of lucknow for making him victorious with huge margin.

“I express gratitude to the people and party workers. I express gratitude to youths, our mothers and sisters,” he said.Regarding development of his parliamentary constituency, Rajnath said that an action plan would be chalked out in 100 days, the responsibility of which had been given to former vice-chairman of lucknow Development Authority Diwakar Tripathi.
