Russia promulgates a tougher anti-terror act

Government of India has something to learn from Russian Government; without any hesitation whatsoever President Putin of Russia has signed a tougher anti-terrorist law on Nov.2, 2013 aimed at neutralizing Islamist acts of terror in Russia. 

For decades, Dagestan located in North Caucasus region of Russia has been the epicenter of the Islamist insurgency plagued with violence and regular clashes between militants and federal forces. Ahead of 2014 Winter Olympics, President Vladimir Putin has signed off on tougher anti-terrorism laws. The new law, which Putin signed on Nov. 2, according to documents published on Sunday on the Russian authorities' legal website, introduces prison terms of up to 10 years for undergoing training "aimed at carrying out terrorist activity." 

"Compensation for damage... caused as a result of a terrorist act is covered... with the means of the person that committed a terrorist act, and also the means of close relatives, relatives and close acquaintances if... they obtained money, valuables and other property as a result of terrorist activity," the law also said. 

The bill also made it easier for law enforcement agencies to prosecute suspected terrorists. It also introduces a punishment of up to six years for those participating in a militant group abroad.

    Govt is silent on all matters. They are not worried about people they are worried about Sonia Gandhi and Manmohan Singh. they spend 20 crores on Sonia health and here they spend only 2 lacs for the common man.
