Bengaluru has become an epicentre of terror activities, BJP MP Tejasvi Surya claimed on Sunday and said he had requested Union home minister Amit Shah to set up a permanent division of the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in the city.
A day after becoming the president of the BJP’s youth wing, Surya said many terror modules have been busted in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, in the recent past. The terrorist groups want to use the city as an “incubation centre” for terror activities.
Surya said that he has spoken to Union Home Minister Amit Shah about setting up a a permanent division of the NIA. He added that many terror modules have been busted in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, in the recent past.
The terrorist groups want to use the city as an “incubation centre” for terror activities, he said.
Surya said he had met Shah at the latter’s residence two days ago and emphasised the need to have a well-equipped and sufficiently staffed NIA office to mitigate terror-related activities in Karnataka.
“The Home Minister has assured that he will direct officials to establish a permanent station house manned by an officer of the rank of the SP at the earliest,” Surya said.
The violence broke out over an alleged inflammatory social media post by the nephew of the Congress MLA.
Bengaluru being the financial nerve centre of south India, it is vital to keep the city safe from all terrorist and anti-India organisations and their activity, Surya said.
