Declaring that it was together with the Government in the “war on terror”, Opposition assured its full backing to the Centre on any “hard decisions” taken to help end the scourge in the wake of Mumbai attacks.

“The Home Minister has talked of taking hard decisions. Whatever steps you take which would help win the war on terror, my party and the NDA will support them,” Leader of the Opposition L K Advani said in the Lok Sabha.

Advani’s remarks came while participating in the discussion on the issue soon after Government assured the House that a number of steps, including strengthening laws and setting up a National Investigation Agency would be taken to insulate the country from terror strikes like in Mumbai.

He said it must be understood that the “epicentre” of terrorism against India was in Pakistan and that the ISI was also a “non-state actor” as it was “not under the control of the elected government in Pakistan and is answerable only to the Pakistan Army”.
