Nainital: Expressing anguish over terrorist attacks in different parts of the country, Congress president Sonia Gandhi today cautioned the State Governments to ensure that anti-terror measures should not lead to polarisation of society and no community should feel being under seige because of such actions.

Addressing a conclave of Congress Chief Ministers here, she said there should be no compromise on internal security and all states should have fully motivated forces to combat terrorism.

Observing that the terror attacks in different parts of the country were a cause of "serious concern and anguish", she said the anti-terror measures should not lead to polarisation of society and no community should feel being under seige.

The two-day meeting is attended by Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, several Union Ministers, 14 Congress Chief Ministers, and senior party leaders.
