All central and state agencies should work in tandem to control this and work out a strategy for future course of action.
“The Committee has noted that the problem of terrorism in India is largely sponsored from across the border. Terrorist outfits are provided safe havens, material support, finance, and other logistics by Pakistan’s ISI to carry out terrorist activities in India,” the report said
Pakistan is carrying out state-sponsored terrorism in India with the help of the ISI and is providing safe haven to terrorist outfits, a report by the Committee of External Affairs under the Minister of External Affairs has said.
The Committee on External Affairs, headed by PP Chaudhary, presented their 28th report on ‘Countering Global Terrorism at Regional and International Levels’ on Monday.
As per the report, terrorist outfits are being provided safe haven by Pakistan’s Inter-Services Intelligence (ISI). The report said a strategic plan and mechanism to root out terrorist networks and safe havens in the neighbouring countries is needed.
“All central and state agencies should work in tandem to control this and work out a strategy for future course of action,” it said, emphasising on the urgent need to dismantle terror networks working against India.
“The Committee has noted that the problem of terrorism in India is largely sponsored from across the border. Terrorist outfits are provided safe havens, material support, finance, and other logistics by Pakistan’s ISI to carry out terrorist activities in India,” the report stated.
It also stressed on the need to control narco terror, the root of funding for such groups. Use of technology to map these groups and access to check encrypted communication is also important, it added.
“The Committee is of the firm view that terrorist attacks in the country can only be curbed by dismantling all terrorist networks and safe havens and has recommended that an action plan or mechanism be worked out at the earliest for effective sharing of resources, capacity enhancement and pooling of available experts from the Central agencies, as well as coordinated global efforts to root out terrorist networks and safe havens in the neighbouring countries,” it stated.
Moreover, it stressed that the capabilities of these agencies to counter cyber and malware attacks in the country may also be enhanced.
