The CM suggested that the Centre develop one of the small states as a model to fight terrorism. “This model should cover all activities connected with terror including hawala transactions, fake currency, drug trafficking and misuse of communication equipment,” he said, adding that it could be replicated at a national level later.

He also stressed the need to equip the Indian Navy, Coast Guard and Marine Police with more boats and manpower. He asked the Centre to consider the setting up of a “National Marine Security Authority”. He also listed the measures taken by his government to fight terror including plans to set up a Police University (Raksha Shakti University). The Gujarat CM asked the Centre to sanction the scheme of coastal security recently submitted by his government, in view of the 1600-km coastline. He also demanded 30 high-speed boats sanctioned under the Coastal Security Scheme.
