  • Obsessive Pursuit Final.Pmd
    The UPA has been concerned at the manner in which POTA has been grossly misused in the past two years. There will be no compromise in the fight against terrorism. But given the abuse of POTA that has taken place, the UPA Government will repeal it, while existing laws are enforced strictly (Common Minimum Programme, UPA government, released on 27 May 2004) Preface On the night of 21 September 2004, the President promulgated two Ordinances. One of these repealed the Prevention of Terrorism Act (POTA) a month before it was to come up for legislative review, and the other amended the provisions of the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act 1967, (UAPA). In its winter session both Houses of Parliament gave the Ordinances their approval. This means that POTA is no longer on the statute books and UAPA 1967 has been replaced by UAPA 2004. The promulgation of both Ordinances and their subsequent enactment, have to be viewed against the immediate backdrop of the United Progressive Alliance (UPA) government’s National Common Minimum Programme (CMP), and election promises by most of its constituent members, primarily the Congress, to repeal POTA. A careful reading of the promise to repeal POTA in the CMP is telling, however. While pledging to remove POTA, the UPA government also cautions that it will not compromise in its fight against terrorism. It is no wonder then that the repeal of POTA has come alongside the amendment of an existing law (UAPA 1967) to include specific POTA provisions pertaining to definition of terrorist activities and banning of terrorist organisations.

The Yemeni government said an “accidental explosion” at an arms depot at a military base in the eastern province of Marib killed the Emiratis, but the Houthi rebels said their fighters launched a rocket attack that caused the blast. Coalition ally Bahrain said five of its soldiers were killed in southern Saudi Arabia where they had been posted to help defend the border with war- wracked Yemen, but it did not give a precise location. However, Yemen’s exiled presidency said the Bahrainis died in the same blast that killed the Emirati forces. Twenty three soldiers wounded in the incident died of their injuries, raising the toll from an initial 22, the Emirati state news agency WAM reported. The UAE armed forces did not dis- close the circumstances of what was its highest casualty toll of the six-month-old air war. But Anwar Gargash, UAE minister of state for foreign affairs, said on Twitter yesterday that “a rocket and an explosion at a weapons cache targeted the martyrs”. HH the Amir of Kuwait Sheikh Sabah Al-Ahmad Al-Jaber Al- Sabah yesterday sent a cable of condolences to UAE President Sheikh Khalifa bin Zayed Al-Nahyan on the martyrdom of the UAE soldiers.
