Government to scrap National Counter Terrorism Centre
- 5 years ago
Government appears to have given a quiet burial to the controversial proposal to set up anti-terror hub NCTC, mooted by the previous UPA regime, as it announced on Tuesday that the plan has been "kept in abeyance". "Operationalisation of the National Counter Terrorism Centre has been kept in abeyance," Minister of State for Home Kiren Rijiju told Lok Sabha in a written reply to a query.
The Minister said the issue of NCTC was discussed during the conference of Chief Ministers held on June 5, 2013 but the discussion remained inconclusive. The proposal to set up NCTC was first initiated by the then Home Minister P Chidambaram but faced stiff opposition from many Chief Ministers, including Narendra Modi who was at that time heading the Gujarat government.
