The Hindu reports that Nepalese Prime Minister Prachanda on September 15 said that his country’s relationship with India was "unassailable" and could not be compared with any other country. With history having created a "new atmosphere," Nepal would like to "start afresh" on issues of discord such as water resources. "Nepal is in a very delicate and sensitive transition period. I have full confidence that we can create very conducive conditions in a very short span of time," said the Maoist leader, who became Nepal’s Prime Minister a month ago.

The Supreme Court on September 15 affirmed a tribunal order upholding the ban on the Muslim outfit, Deendar Anjuman, for its subversive and anti-national activities, reports The Hindu. Dismissing a special leave petition filed by the outfit, Justice Arijit Pasayat, who, along with Justice Mukundakam Sharma was on a Bench, said, "Your professed activities may be something, but your general activities are different." The judge pointed out that the Special Tribunal, set up under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, gave findings that the organisation was actively involved in anti-national and anti-religious activities in Goa, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh and Maharashtra. The tribunal, headed by Justice Mukul Mudgal of the Delhi High Court, had on February 27 upheld the Centre’s fourth notification extending the ban on the outfit, accused of attacking churches to foment Hindu-Christian animosity. It was first banned in 2001 for two years and thereafter after every two years and the last notification was issued in August 2007. The organisation contended that there was no fresh evidence to show that it was still involved in anti-national activities.

On September 17, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh pointing at the role played by the Pakistan-based terrorist groups in the recent serial bomb blasts in the country said that the involvement of local elements added a new dimension to the terrorist threat, reports The Hindu. The Prime Minister, addressing the Governors’ Conference on Inter Security in New Delhi said, "We have reports that certain Pakistan-based terrorists outfits are constantly seeking to set up new terrorist modules within our country. This is a matter of the utmost concern. We have increased vigilance on our borders … But in view of the growing involvement of local elements, this is not enough." Favouring further strengthening of anti-terror laws, Prime Minister noted that security and intelligence agencies had been successful in thwarting and pre-empting several terrorist attacks. "But as the recent blasts in Jaipur, Bangalore, Ahmedabad, Surat and Delhi indicate, there are still vast gaps in intelligence. These need to be overcome", he added.

On September 18, Information and Broadcasting Minister and Cabinet spokesperson Priyaranjan Dasmunsi ruled out any move to bring back the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) or introduce any additional law to combat terror, reports The Hindu. "No, No, No. It is a draconian law and against human rights. If the present laws such as the Unlawful Activities Prevention Act are implemented properly, there is no need for additional laws," he said. Briefing reporters on the deliberations of the special Cabinet meeting on September 17 night that discussed the security situation in the country in wake of the recent terror attacks, including the Saturday serial blasts in Delhi, he further said that some of the anti-terrorism laws in India are "much stronger than those in the U.S. and U.K". The Minister also announced a series of measures to strengthen the intelligence machinery, including the creation of a research and technology wing in the Intelligence Bureau (IB) to analyse the new modus operandi of terrorists and steps to install gadgets such as closed circuit televisions and metal detectors in market places. Home Secretary Madhukar Gupta said the Cabinet sanctioned an additional 6,000 posts for the IB and 7,612 more posts for the Delhi Police. The Cabinet also approved a proposal to strengthen the Special Branches in States and earmark funds for them to acquire and put in place scanners and other security-related equipment. It approved a sub-scheme for policing in the metros for which the Union Government would provide assistance in intelligence monitoring and surveillance.
