INDIA PROPOSES ‘PERMANENT SECRETARIAT’ ON TERROR FUNDING

NEW DELHI: India has proposed to set up a “permanent secretariat” for the “No Money For Terror (NMFT)” initiative to ensure continuous global focus on countering terror financing and chalking out a practical and workable road map to fight terrorism, Union home minister Amit Shah said on Saturday, as he urged all countries to share intelligence in a transparent manner. Shah also asked jurisdictions who support terrorists or those who harbour them – in what was seen as an indirect reference to Pakistan and China – to “think beyond politics” and cooperate with each other.
