MAY 20 The 21st of May is being observed every year as "Anti-Terrorism Day". The purpose is to wean the people, especially the youth, away from the cult of terrorism and violence. The Union Home Ministry has requested State Governments and the Union Territory administration to organize appropriate programmes to observe the Anti-Terrorism Day in a befitting manner.
An important feature of the observance of this day is the Anti-Terrorism Pledge administered to employees and the people. The Minister of State for Home Affairs, Shri I.D. Swami administered the Pledge to the employees of the Home Ministry at a function in the North Block premises today. The pledge reads as follows:
"We, the people of India, having abiding faith in our country’s tradition of non-violence and tolerance, hereby solemnly affirm to oppose with our strength, all forms of terrorism and violence. We pledge to uphold and promote peace, social harmony, and understand among all fellow human beings and fight the forces of disruption threatening human lives and values".
