[FONT="]A bill presented by right-wing politician in the parliament asking to declare Pakistan a terror state has been rejected by Indian government as reported by The Hindu.[/FONT]
[FONT="]According to The Hindu, the Indian home minister has told the upper house of parliament that declaring Pakistan a 'terror state' could have both 'diplomatic and far-reaching consequences'.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Indian MP Rajeev Chanrasekhar had presented the bill titled as 'The Declaration of Countries as Sponsor of Terrorism Bill, 2016' in Indian parliament which became a hot topic in February because it asked for legal, economic and travel sanctions against citizens of countries which are promoting terrorism.[/FONT]
[FONT="]To declare a country as a terrorist state can have diplomatic as well as other far-reaching consequences. Before doing so a detailed study is required. Therefore, I request Chandrasekhar to withdraw the bill, said the Minister of State for Home Hansraj Gangaram Ahir while addressing the upper house.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The Indian minister was of the opinion that the Indian state was already doing enough to deal with the citizens of countries supporting terror.[/FONT]
[FONT="]The government has taken many steps to deal with terror. The existing laws already have sufficient provisions for dealing with citizens of a terrorist country, he added while urging the BJP leader to retract the bill.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Although the right-winger withdrew the bill, he managed to garner support within the Indian corridors of power.[/FONT]
[FONT="]Elected member and a veteran Indian lawyer KTS Tulsi said, I am not opposed to the Bill but I have my doubts. We need to examine the practical utility of declaring Pakistan a terror state.
