"It is necessary for any operational action that state government remains informed and it is conducted with advice and active support of the local police and it has the required experience for such situation," Akhilesh said in his speech which was tabled by UP Gram Panchayat minister Blaram Yadav in the absence of the Chief Minister.
He said the present form of NCTC proposed by the Centre is not in lines with the principles of involvement of the state machinery in undertaking such operations.
"I demand a rethink on the proposed system. As of now, NCTC can undertake any operation in a state without informing the state government using special forces like the NSG. Such provisions can lead to confusing situation in issues related to law and order. The possibility of its misuse cannot be ruled out," the UP Chief Minister said.
Referring to the traditional system of central forces taking consent of the state governments before undertaking operations, he said the states have the "operational control" in such situations.
"It would be better if this principle is followed in the backdrop of the NCTC," he said.
He said by giving NCTC the right to decide upon the operational priorities of various state organisations was an intrusion on the rights of the state. (MORE)
