Terrorists can surprise us, says Manmohan

In the backdrop of Jaipur serial blasts, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh advocated the need for creation of a Federal Crime Agency, a proposal regarding which has failed to materialise because of ‘reluctance’ of states to ‘surrender’ powers.

Singh said the terror incidents should not become an issue of politicking and parties like Congress and BJP should put their minds together to see how the problem can be addressed.

On the Jaipur blasts, he refused to blame the intelligence agencies, saying terrorists ‘can surprise us’ and that is the ‘reality’.
