The Union Home Minister's statement underscores the Narendra Modi government's commitment to national security and its claim of significant improvements in the law and order situation over the past decade.

This reinforces the principle of cooperative federalism in internal security management.
बहुविकल्पीय प्रश्न (MCQ)
1. Consider the following statements regarding the division of powers related to internal security in India: 1. 'Public Order' and 'Police' are exclusively subjects of the State List under the Seventh Schedule. 2. The Union government can deploy Central Armed Police Forces (CAPFs) in a state without the state government's consent in situations of grave internal security threats. 3. 'Criminal Law' and 'Criminal Procedure' are subjects on the Concurrent List, allowing both Centre and States to legislate. Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: C
Statement 1 is correct. 'Public Order' (Entry 1) and 'Police' (Entry 2) are indeed exclusively State List subjects under the Seventh Schedule. Statement 2 is incorrect. While the Union government can deploy CAPFs, it generally requires the consent of the state government, especially for 'law and order' duties. However, in cases of grave national security threats or during emergencies, the Centre's powers are broader. But for routine deployment, consent is crucial, reflecting cooperative federalism. Statement 3 is correct. 'Criminal Law' (Entry 1) and 'Criminal Procedure' (Entry 2) are subjects on the Concurrent List, enabling both the Parliament and state legislatures to make laws on these matters.
2. In the context of India's efforts against major crimes, which of the following pairs is/are correctly matched? List-I (Crime Type) List-II (Primary Central Agency/Act) 1. Drug Trafficking: Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) 2. Cybercrime: National Investigation Agency (NIA) 3. Human Trafficking: Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 4. Organized Crime: Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act (UAPA) Select the correct answer using the code given below:
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: A
Pair 1 is correctly matched. The Narcotics Control Bureau (NCB) is the primary central agency for combating drug trafficking and enforcing the Narcotic Drugs and Psychotropic Substances (NDPS) Act, 1985. Pair 2 is incorrectly matched. While NIA deals with terrorism, the primary central agency for cybercrime investigation and coordination is the Indian Cybercrime Coordination Centre (I4C) under MHA, and CERT-In for cyber security incidents. NIA's mandate is primarily terrorism-related offenses. Pair 3 is correctly matched. The Immoral Traffic (Prevention) Act, 1956 (ITPA) is the principal legislation for preventing human trafficking for commercial sexual exploitation. Pair 4 is incorrectly matched. UAPA primarily deals with unlawful activities and terrorism. While organized crime can sometimes be linked to terror financing, specific laws like the Maharashtra Control of Organized Crime Act (MCOCA) or the National Investigation Agency Act (which allows NIA to investigate certain organized crime cases linked to terrorism) are more directly relevant. UAPA is not the primary central act for all forms of organized crime.
3. Which of the following statements is NOT correct regarding Left Wing Extremism (LWE) in India?
उत्तर देखें
सही उत्तर: D
Statement A is correct. 'Greyhounds' is indeed a highly effective specialized anti-Naxal force of Andhra Pradesh and Telangana police. Statement B is correct. 'SAMADHAN' (Smart leadership, Aggressive strategy, Motivation and training, Actionable intelligence, Dashboard-based KPIs, Harnessing technology, Action plan for each theatre, No access to financing) is the government's comprehensive strategy to tackle LWE. Statement C is correct. The 'Red Corridor' is a region in central and eastern India that experiences considerable Naxalite-Maoist insurgency. Statement D is NOT correct. The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) is the nodal ministry for formulating and implementing policies to counter Left Wing Extremism, not the Ministry of Defence. The Ministry of Defence primarily handles external security threats.
