Bengaluru South MP Tejasvi Surya on Sunday said that Bengaluru has become an ‘epicentre for terror activities’, and for the same he has requested the Union Minister Amit Shah for the setting up of a permanent division of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), to monitor terror-related activities.
A day after becoming the president of the BJP’s youth wing, Surya said many terror modules have been busted in Bengaluru, the Silicon Valley of India, in the recent past. ‘The terrorist groups want to use the city as an incubation centre for terror activities,’ he added.
In last few years, Bluru has become epicenter of terror activities, proven through many NIA arrests & busted sleeper cells in the city.I urged Hon HM Sri @AmitShah Ji to set up a permanent division of NIA in BluruI thank him for his assurance that it will be set up soon! pic.twitter.com/ASxMuumtPr

Surya said Shah has assured him of establishing the team at Bengaluru when the two met at the latter’s residence two days ago.
‘It is a matter of grave concern that NIA investigations into the DJ Halli and KG Halli mob violence on August 11 have indicated that many terrorist organisations are using Bengaluru as their incubation centre for carrying out anti-India activities,’ India Today quoted Surya as saying.
Netizens condemned Surya’s comment on Bengaluru being called as a hub of terror activities, while some said that very few young leaders could see reality and look forward to a solution-based approach.
Bangalore, this is what the MP says about you. The guy you voted as a parliamentarian at a young age. Even if what he says is true than-BJP is in power in Karnataka, Tejasvi along with other MP’s from Bangalore are from BJP. Who should be blamed?

How can you call an Indian State terr0r hub on basis of few incidents?Must not forget BJP has a habit of naming and framing dissenters as Anti National & Terr0rists.The more you spit venom the bigger role you get is the Mantra of Santra’s, ain’t it? #ApologizeTejasvi

According to @Tejasvi_Surya, a high-tech city like Bengaluru is the epicenter of terrorism!!Since he represents Bengaluru in the parliament, does this mean he is a terrorist too? BJP is in power in both center & state, does that mean BJP-RSS is like ISIS?#ApologizeTejasvi pic.twitter.com/otc8Xh0lCA

Bangalore should be proud of electing a young man courageous enough to see reality and smart enough to find a solution.

You are absolutely right @Tejasvi_Surya Sir. The sleeper sells in Bangalore are the real threat to our Namma Bengaluru. #bengaluruviolence was a clear example of these Jihadis. I appreciate your concern about the safety of the city. Seeing future deserving CM of Karnataka as you
— Atul Singh (@AtulSin47084023) September 28, 2020 Speaking on his new responsibility as the head of the Bharatiya Janata Yuva Morcha (BJYM), Surya said his first visit will be to poll-bound Bihar to interact and meet the party’s youth wing volunteers.’Yuva Morcha will nurture more grassroots leaders across the country. A young karyakarta (worker) like me has been given the responsibility of the national youth wing of the world’s largest political party in the world’s biggest democracy and in the world’s youngest country. This is possible only in the BJP,’ the media reported. Surya said he feels the strongest leaders come from the weakest sections of the society and he wants to ensure that BJYM will be their platform.
