Religious terrorism would never be under control________Chidambaram

Pointing at the terror threats from jihadi forces, he said the idea of cross border terrorism emanating from Pakistan needed to be redefined as the terrorists also took inspiration from the Middle-east.
"It (jihadi terrorism) is not just from across the border in Pakistan but extends beyond to the middle-east also. We have to redefine what cross-border terrorism means," Chidambaram said at a book release function in New Delhi.
He said insurgency in the Northeast was the third internal threat but added that it was almost under control.
India had the means to "contain, control and resolve" the insurgency in the Northeastern states and Maoist menace in Central India but religious terrorism would never be under control, he said pointing out that there were new dimensions of terror groups such as from Hindu fundamentalist and to a small extent from the Sikh groups.
