Update: 2010-09-15 00:00 GMT

AGARTALA/AHMEDABAD, Feb 19 � The Left Front government in Tripura joined the anti-NCTC chorus with Manik Sarkar becoming the 11th Chief Minister to oppose the proposal even as his Gujarat counterpart Narendra Modi today accused the UPA of attacking the country�s federal structure.

Reflecting the Government�s view, Information and Broadcasting Minister Ambika Soni said fight against terror should be fought jointly and not be politicised. The Centre had no desire to infringe on the states� rights, she said.

Sarkar has written to Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on the proposal to set up the National Counter-Terrorism Centre (NCTC), saying the �unilateral� order would only create �misunderstanding�.
