POTA
by JIGNESH harsora on Jul 28, 2008 04:16 PM   Permalink | Hide replies

The Prevention of Terrorist Activities Act (POTA) was an anti-terrorism legislation enacted by the Parliament of India in 2002. The act replaced the Prevention of Terrorism Ordinance (POTO) of 2001 and was supported by the governing National Democratic Alliance. The act was repealed in 2004 by the United Progressive Alliance coalition.

TADA/POTA does not deter Terrorists.

It only helps Police Book someone and close the case - actual Terrorist 5% times ...a hapless scapegoat from minority 95% times.

It helps leaders like Advani, Modi claim (befool) that they have restored Justice.

But in reality, more terrorists are born from linkages to those 95% scapegoats.
