Pak facing FATF heat to rein in terror: Doval

New Delhi, October 14

Noting that Pakistan has been under tremendous pressure at the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) to rein in terror groups operating from its soil, National Security Adviser Ajit Doval today asked top security and investigative agencies officials to work diligently in “perception management” as it is a key to fighting terrorism. He also asked them to adopt a transparent media policy.

Doval, addressing ATS chiefs at a conference organised by the National Investigation Agency (NIA), said without publicity, terrorism could not sustain for long. No country could afford to go for a war as financial and human costs were huge, he said. NIA chief YC Modi said the Jamaat-ul Mujahideen Bangladesh (JMB) was trying to spread tentacles across India and a list of 125 suspects had been shared with states. — TNS
