\'State no longer immune from terror as in past\'

TPURAM: Home Minister Kodiyeri Balakrishnan said here that state could no longer claim to be immune from terrorism as in the past and the state was as much a target of terrorists, as any other place.

The Minister wanted media to refrain from putting out stories on terrorism based on untruths or half truths.

Though Kerala had not lost any life due to terrorist act it was a serious matter that many youths were arrested for their involvement in anti-national and subversive activities from within and outside the state.

The co-operation of the people as a whole was a critical factor in fighting terrorism, he added.
