India bans over 100 global terror outfits | In a major step to enable agencies take immediate legal action against terror outfits, the Union Government has banned over one hundred such groups linked to Al-Qaeda across the globe. The Government has declared all such
groups as terrorist organizations. Terror outfits like Jemaah Islamiyah, involved
in Bali bombing of Indonesia, Islamic Jihad Group of Libya, the Moroccan Islamic
Combatant Group, the Egyptian Islamic Jihad were declared as terrorist organisations
by the United Nations Security Council ,UNSC. The government has now declared
these over 100 outfits as outlawed in India by putting their names along with
33 other outfits in the list of banned organisations of Ministry of Home Affairs.
Other prominent names in the list include International Islamic Relief Organisation
of Philippines and Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan among others. The Home Ministry's
revised list of banned outfits also for the first time includes the Khalistan
Zindabad Force (KZF) as one of the terrorist organisations under the UAP Act.
The action under amended Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act is seen as a move
to avoid any legal ambiguity in case Indian security agencies want to lay their
hands on anyone associated with these bodies. Though names of three pro-Khalistan
terror outfits --Babbar Khalsa International (BKI), Khalistan Comando Force (KCF)
and International Sikh Youth Federation (ISYF) -- have been on the list for long,
the move to include KZF in the revised list is seen in the light of increased
activities of the outfit in India in the past couple of years. Officials believe
that the revised list will help the security agencies in pursuing cases against
the terrorists belonging to these outfits in courts more effectively. Prominent
in the list of banned outfits in India include - Lashkar-e-Taiba, Jaish-e-Mohammad,
Tahrik-e-Furqan, Al Badr,Jamiat-ul-Mujahidden, al-Qaeda,
Harkat-ul-Mujahideen,Harkat-ul-Ansar,
Harkat-ul-Jehad-e-Islami, Hizb-ul-Mujahideen,Al-Umar-Mujahideen, Jammu and Kashmir
Islamic Front, ULFA, NDFB, LTTE, SIMI, Deendar Anjuman, Communist Party of India
(Marxist-Leninist-People's War), Maoist Communist Centre and CPI (Maoist). |
