Indian PM advocates for choking of terror funding

Xinhua, November 18, 2015 Adjust font size:

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi Wednesday advocated for the choking of terror funding through "targeted economic sanctions."

Modi said that disruption in funding will in a big way affect the abilities of terror groups to carry out attacks.

"The dastardly acts committed in Paris a few days ago are a grim reminder that terrorists have shown remarkable flexibility and adaptability in meeting their funding requirements," Modi said.

He added: "Disrupting fund flow constrains the capabilities of terrorists and reduces their ability to execute attacks."

The Indian Prime Minister had last week raised the issue at the G20 summit in Turkey that took place immediately after the Paris terror attacks in which over 130 people were killed. Endit
