Non Congress Chief Ministers have come out openly against the centre's ambitious plan to create a centralized anti terror body. They are alleging that the centre is trying to encroach upon their federal rights. For its part the government is trying to strike a conciliatory note to avert a protracted face-off. The Chief Ministers state that the powers of seizure and arrest across the country makes the NCTC dangerous. They are also wary of the NCTC being allowed to over ride the constitutional protection to the states which makes them fear that the centre would abuse its powers.
