Terrorism should be eradicated from country : Rajnath

Hyderabad, Oct 30: Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh asserted on Monday that in the next five years extremism, terrorism and communalism should be rooted out from the country. Terror groups like ISIS and Al Qaeda were killing innocent people in different parts of the world besides the threat of the use of nuclear weapons also loomed large, he said while addressing the passing out parade of the Indian Police Service (IPS) probationers at the Sardar Vallabbhai Patel National Police Academy here. Mr Singh said, "We will have to find a lasting solution for terrorism and militancy and we have started working in that direction. Even India is not unaffected with terror acts. The training given to terrorists in a neighboring country has become a major challenge to the nation."

He announced that his ministry would provide Rs five crore to the welfare society of the Academy. UNI
