National Investigation Agency (NIA) Director-General Yogesh Chander Modi on Monday said that the Bangladeshi terror organisation Jamaat-ul-Mujahideen (JuM) is now expanding its area of operation in India and has already expanded its footprints under the disguise of Bangladeshi migrants in Bihar, Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra.
Yogesh Chander Modi was speaking at the NIA's national conference of Chiefs of Anti-Terrorism Squad / Special Task Force which is currently underway in Delhi. Making the disclosure about JuM's activities, the Director-General also said that the Bangladeshi terror group is carrying out its operations under the disguise of Bangladeshi migrants.
The national conference today is a two-day event hosted by the NIA where the sleuths are talking to the chiefs of anti-terror squads (ATS) and special task forces (STF) of all the states, in a bid to create a nation-wide robust anti-terror grid. MoS Home G Kishan Reddy, NSA Ajit Doval, NIA DG YC Modi, former IB Special Director and Nagaland Governor RN Ravi are also present at the event.
YC Modi, a 1984 batch Indian Police Service officer of the Assam-Meghalaya cadre, further announced that a list of the 25 most wanted JuM terrorists has been prepared and circulated among the states to track them. "We are fully geared up and prepared to meet the challenge of such terror groups with the help of all the states. We are a central investigating agency and are coordinating with other similar agencies at the national as well as international level to tackle terrorism," said the Director-General.
NIA Inspector-General Alok Mittal, IPS, elaborated on the issue of terror funding at the event. "In the main case of terror funding in Jammu and Kashmir," he said, " the chiefs of proscribed organisations and top separatist leaders have been arrested and charge-sheeted." He added that these leaders were being funded from the Pakistan High Commission, through remittances and hawala transfers. However, Indian officials made sure that none of these terrorists has gotten bail so far, he added.
National Security Advisor (NSA) Ajit Doval also addressed India's top cops to arrive at a common strategy for anti-terror operations. He said, "The impact that NIA has been able to make against terrorism in Kashmir is more than any other agency."
Addressing the issue of Pakistan funding terrorism, Doval said, "If a criminal has the support of a state, it becomes a great challenge. Some of the states have mastered this, in our case Pakistan has made it as an instrument of its state policy."
He added by saying that the FATF proceedings have managed to put an amount of pressure on Pakistan's nefarious activities. "One of the biggest pressures that has come on Pakistan today is because of the proceedings of Financial Action Task Force (FATF), it has created so much pressure on them that probably no other action could have done."
