Taking another significant step under the Modi government's 'Zero Tolerance Policy' against terrorism, the Ministry of Home Affairs designated 23 more individuals as 'terrorists'. Union Home Minister Amit Shah stated that the government is committed to dismantling every terror module to ensure the safety of India and its people.
The designated terrorists are implicated in various anti-India activities including terror attacks, incitement of terror, and trafficking of arms. From the 23 individuals, 17 are Pakistani nationals and 6 are Indian nationals, all currently operating from Pakistan or Pakistan-occupied Jammu and Kashmir.
