Lambasting the Centre for its alleged failure to formulate a national security policy and lack of strategic planning, former Punjab DGP K P S Gill said there is more danger to the country's security from its politicians than from Pakistan.

"There is no national security policy nor strategic planning in the country. The present government has failed in this regard," Gill said while delivering the keynote address at a seminar on 'Security of Northern Frontier and National Integration' at the Jammu University.

Charging the UPA with caring little for the country's strategic interests either in South Asia or in the global context, he said, "I tell you, the country's security faces more danger from the politicians and their ideology than from Pakistan."

"What is the UPA doing to evolve a national security policy? Nothing. Be it the problems of Maoists, naxals, Punjab violence, Karantaka communal clashes or even terror attacks in various places ... they (UPA) have done nothing to rein them in," the former supercop said.

Commenting on the recent developments in Pakistan especially the turmoil in its north-west frontier province, he said, "Pakistan is paying the price of grooming the monster of terror. it is disintegrating."
