The recent grenade attack on security forces in Jammu and Kashmir and at the headquarters of the Punjab police intelligence wings shows that the radical elements are attempting to measure the strength of the new system. The concern over the presence of sleeper cells or the pro-militant elements spread across Punjab and other states cannot be ignored. They are waiting for an opportune moment to create trouble. The government has to show its preparedness by catching the attackers soon. Every act of terrorism is carried out on Pakistan’s instructions. However, Pakistan is waging wars against India through terrorist activities and riots. India should adopt strategies of Israel and heavily penalise Pakistan. The illegal Bangladeshi immigrants has intensified in states like Karnataka, Assam, West Bengal. The government has also been unable to put in place an efficient mechanism for detection of foreign nationals in the States, many of whom have allegedly acquired fake documents. Jurisdictional police stations should hold meetings of all citizens committees and make them aware of the importance of sharing information with police.
