Asserting that the July 11 Mumbai blasts had reinforced India's image as a 'soft state', former Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalitha on Saturday demanded that the Centre bring back the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA).
'The Central Government must bring back POTA and show that it means business in taking tough measures to combat and put down terrorism,' the AIADMK general secretary said. The UPA Government should dispense with 'empty rhetoric, stop flagging off buses and trains to Pakistan and take concrete steps to re-infuse confidence in the public,' she said.
