New Delhi, Sep 16 (IANS): Prime Minister Manmohan Singh Friday described the recent Mumbai and Delhi blasts as a "grave reminder" of the great challenge that terrorists posed to India's national security.
Addressing the all-India conference of director generals and inspector generals of police here, Singh said the national security situation continued to be "uncertain".
"The national security situation continues to be uncertain. Recent terror attacks in Mumbai and Delhi are a grave reminder to great challenge posed by terrorists to our nation's security," Singh said after distributing the police meritorious service medals to officers.
He also noted that left-wing extremism had also claimed lives of many innocent people and policemen.
The Mumbai blast took place July 13 and the Delhi blast outside the high court premises Sep 7, both claiming many lives and injuring many more.
