Indian Army chief General Deepak Kapoor, while citing that India would not be able to “afford a repeat of 26/11", mentioned that the repeated terrorist attacks were happening as India had repeatedly allowed the perpetrators of terror attacks to get away.
"The US has not allowed a second 9/11, Indonesia has not allowed a second Bali," Kapoor said, adding that India had allowed those behind the "2001 parliament attack, Delhi blasts and Mumbai terror attack" to get away.
"India cannot afford a repeat of 26/11," said the army chief said who was talking at the Network Centricity and National Security seminar conducted by the Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) in New Delhi.
He has also emphasized the need for network centricity so that intelligence gathering and sharing can be done in a netter fashion.
"There has to be speedy flow of intelligence and updated data for speedy decision based on the geographical location and a swift action by nearest security agencies," said Kapoor.
Endorsing his view, Minister of State for Defence M.M. Pallam Raju said considering the "fragile internal security scenario", there had to be new centres to facilitate rapid action across the country and better coordination among intelligence agencies and security forces.
