| Slamming the Centre, Tamil Nadu Chief Minister J Jayalalithaa has said that the Centre is trying to intimidate states and that it has scant respect for constitutional responsibility. Ms Jayalalithaa was speaking at the Conference for non-Congress Chief Ministers on internal security today.
Here's the full text of her speech:
Hon'ble Prime Minister and dignitaries participating in the Conference today,
Public order and Police are subjects that top the list of items under the State List of the Constitution. The founding fathers of our Nation clearly delineated the functions of the Central and State Governments, and accordingly made Parliament and the State Legislative Assemblies the law making Institutions for the smooth performance of these functions.
It is in this context that the subject of internal security must be understood, and appreciated.
This Conference on internal security seeks to address a host of issues such as the Crime and Criminal tracking network system, Modernization of the Police Force, Border Management, Coastal Security, preventing the circulation of fake Indian currency notes, strengthening of the Intelligence Wings and separation of Criminal Investigation and Law and Order.
Tamil Nadu, under my leadership, has taken the lead in the implementation of all Police schemes. At the same time, I wish to emphasize that Conferences of this nature should address major problems confronting the Nation and strive to find solutions for them. They should not be confined to an audit of the funds released to the States. The results achieved in maintenance of internal security should count much more than the mere statistics that the agenda notes seem to be focusing upon.
I now proceed to dwell upon major issues concerning internal security. The maintenance of public order is the primary test of internal security. Where people are provided an atmosphere of public tranquility, such a State is indeed a haven of peace.
