Inaugurating a two-day anti-terror conference organized by the National Investigation Agency (NIA) in New Delhi, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Amit Shah, emphasized the need to go beyond mere destruction of terrorism, and instead, focus on dismantling its entire ecosystem.
The event witnessed the presence of several dignitaries, including Minister of State for Home Affairs, Nishith Pramanik, Home Secretary, Director Intelligence Bureau, Director General NIA, and top officials from Union and State governments.
During the conference, Amit Shah presented medals to NIA officials for their exceptional service. In his address, he underscored the significant progress made by both Central and State agencies in suppressing various forms of terrorism over the past nine years under the leadership of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.
Shah proposed the establishment of a Model Anti-terrorism Structure under NIA’s jurisdiction, advocating for uniformity in hierarchy, structure, and Standard Operating Procedures (SoPs) across all anti-terrorism agencies in different states. This move aims to enhance coordination between central and state agencies, ultimately preventing the potential formation of new terrorist entities.
Additionally, Amit Shah urged the NIA, ATS, and STF to broaden their responsibilities beyond mere investigation, encouraging them to think innovatively and employ unconventional strategies in countering terrorism effectively. He emphasized that the fight against terrorism requires a collaborative effort on a global scale, involving various states within the country and international cooperation.
Shah commended the Modi government’s resolute stance on challenges like crypto, hawala, terror-funding, organized crime syndicates, and narco-terror links, which has yielded significant results. However, he acknowledged that there is still much ground to cover. To combat terrorism effectively, he stressed the need for both central and state agencies to adopt vertical and horizontal thinking.
Highlighting the extensive database verticals established by the government in the last five years, Amit Shah urged all agencies to make multidimensional and Artificial Intelligence-based use of the database. He emphasized that this is crucial for success in the fight against terrorism, asserting that the database should be leveraged for investigation, prosecution, prevention, and action.
In conclusion, Amit Shah reinforced that terrorism transcends boundaries, emphasizing that no single state can effectively combat it alone. He called for collective action to eradicate this menace and proposed compiling five actionable points from every session of the two-day conference for submission to the Union Home Ministry.
