Chidambaram said there is a need to pay attention to
proper training, weapons and housing needs of police forces.
"We must pay attention to police forces or else we
won't have an efficient police. There are over three lakh
vacancies in police constabulary in India. We must pay
attention to proper shoes, uniform, training, weapons, pay and
housing needs of police force," Chidambaram said.
Lauding Ombale, who caught the lone surviving terrorist
Ajmal Amir Kasab, he said, "If Kasab hadn't been caught alive,
there would be no conclusive link to Pakistan in 26/11
attacks."
In India's capital New Delhi, Parliament paid tributes
to the martyrs and observed a minute's silence.
Indian Defence Minister A K Antony said the terror
strike was "a grim reminder" of the volatile neighbourhood and
expressed the nation's resolve not to allow a repeat of the
26/11-type mayhem in the country.
"It (Mumbai terror strike) is a grim reminder of the
volatile and perilous state of our neighbourhood and thereby,
the need for constant vigil," he said.
Indian External Affairs Minister S M Krishna, who is in
Colombo asked Pakistan to bring all the perpetrators of Mumbai
attacks to speedy justice and dismantle the terror machine
operating with "impunity".
He said the day was "a stark reminder, that no cause can
ever justify terror, either by state or non-state actors."
