Court rejects Swamy plea seeking documents in National Herald case
A court here on Monday dismissed the plea of BJP leader Subramanian Swamy seeking summoning of documents of Congress party…
BJP MP Subramanian Swamy on Sunday demanded
a definite policy to fight “Islamic terrorism” which, he said, was
responsible for polarising communities and creating chaos in country.
“Islamic terrorism is making
every attempt to create chaos and anarchy in the country and bring about
differences among communities. We had successfully fought LTTE, Tamil Tigers,
Bodo, Naxals…and in the same manner we should fight and root out Islamic terrorism
from country,” he said.
He was delivering the last lecture in
the VD Sawarkar Lecture Series on the topic “Terrorism in the
Country”.

He claimed that the Islamic State is
now active in southern states of country “which needs to be tackled with
definite policy”.
Swamy claimed that he had pushed for
Bharat Ratna award for ‘Sardar’ Vallabhbhai Patel in 1991 when Chandra Shekhar
was the Prime Minister. “Congress had not done anything in this regard in
their tenure,” he said.
Welcoming the demonetisation decision,
Swamy said the results of the exercise would be visible after some time.
“One of the major achievements of
the move is that the counterfeit notes which were in circulation in Kashmir
have vanished and life has come to normal in that state,” he said.
He said demonetisation was overall a
good move even as he conceded that Finance Ministry was “not
prepared” for such a big exercise and ATMs were not calibrated for the new
Rs 2000 notes.
