Vinod Mehta, Editor-in-Chief, Outlook said, both the major political parties i.e. the Congress and the Bhartiya Janta Party or BJP must unite in this fight against terror, and this kind of name calling – ‘Hindu Terror’ and ‘Islamic Terror’ – which in general is terror.

Mehta feels that there is a huge intelligence lapse here. So the questions arises that is our intelligence gathering system in these matters really quite appalling and inefficient?
“Thus, political solidarity and then our intelligence system must be really revved up and we must try and invigorate that,” he said.

There has to be a broad consensus between all political parties, especially, the media parties on how to tackle this and particularly the introduction of terror laws to strengthen the Intelligence Network.

Recollecting of such an incident in recent past, Mitra said, “During the last month, the Anti-Terrorism Squad or ATS of the Mumbai Police got engaged in a wild-goose chase, trying to pin down some people allegedly responsible for spawning Hindu terror and in the process they allowed the Jihadi terrorists sufficient time to regroup and plan perhaps the most diabolical terror attack anywhere in the world since 9/11."
