"Zero tolerance" policy would be pursued in tackling terrorism and our response to any terror attack would be "swift, decisive, determined and strong", Home Minister P Chidambaram said on Sunday.

"We have set for ourselves two goals. To raise the level of preparedness to meet any terror attack and our response should be strong, swift, determined and decisive to any such act," Chidambaram said addressing the Block and District Congress Presidents' convention in New Delhi.

He said, "our policy towards terror is of zero tolerance and we will pursue this policy till we wipe out this menace".

Referring to the various kinds of terror threats the country was facing, Chidambaram said, "We face terror from groups that seek to profess Jihadi terror. We face terror threats from groups that seek support in religion. There are militants who claim that Hindu militancy is a way to go and way to defend India."

"Let me make it clear that there is no stigma being a Hindu, Sikh, Christian, Muslim or even a non-believer but irrespective of religion, whoever takes to the gun, the path of terror, is an enemy of the state and he or she has to be met squarely." The minister referred to three kinds of threats to internal security of the country.
