In a strongly worded statement,Army chief General Deepak Kapoor has said that India repeatedly allows perpetrators of terror attacks to get away and that the country should adopt a zero-tolerance policy. The US has not allowed a second 9/11 to happen. Indonesia has not allowed a second Bali bombing to happen. India has allowed people to get away after the Parliament attack,the Delhi blasts and,finally,26 Its time for all of us to say no more, the Army chief said at a function organised by CII. This comes a day after he warned that there is a possibility of an attack similar to the one that occurred in Mumbai last November. On Wednesday,Kapoor had underlined that India cannot afford a repeat of 26/11 and emphasised the need for better intelligence sharing. There has to be speedy flow of intelligence and updated data for a speedy decision based on the geographical location and a swift action by the nearest security agencies, Kapoor said. Minister of State for Defence M M Pallam Raju said it was necessary to appoint a intelligence coordinator to handle sharing of state and national-level intelligence inputs. There is a requirement to institute a mechanism to centrally feed in and coordinate the intelligence inputs,analyse the same and disseminate them in real time to the end user. This set up could be instituted at the state level and replicated at the national level. The time has come to create a post of a national intelligence coordinator, he said.
