How to tackle terrorism

Funds and continuous finance is a very important aspect of planning and execution of terrorist activities in the modern world. Terrorist outfit require a huge sum of money for various activities like recruitment, training , arm purchase etc .

With the recent statistics "Intelligence Bureau officials have specific inputs that Sabahuddin, believed to have been part of the attack at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, and the Central Reserve Police Force camp in Rampur, Uttar Pradesh [Images], had raised over Rs 10 lakh (Rs 1 million) for the operation through hawala channels."

Unconfirmed sources said that almost 1800 cores has been raised by ISI to finance terror in India.

How the world the terror outfits gets such a huge money ? There are various channels

1. The doners for these are all spread across the Muslim world, gulf countries
2. There are several organization collect huge money in name of Islam and divert part of the money to terror outfits
3. Fake currency notes , Recently in India terror outfit and ISI with help of underworld and underworld's illicit connection with our politician manage to infuse huge sum of fake currency note in India's economy.
4. Hawala, the channel initially exploited by underworld and businessmen and now our great politicians is used extensively to finance terror by terror outfit
5. In the name of fight against terrorism, US infused billions of dollars in Pakistan economy which Pakistan was successfully divert for preparing a terror war against India

The war against terror needs to fought on economic front with astute diplomacy. With mixture of tough internal and external policy , economic reforms and assertive diplomacy we need to cut the very financial sources of the terrorist

What we can do ?

1. Break down of sleeper cells for terror outfits

2. Break Pakistan's back using aggressive export policy for the export goods that Pakistan is dependent upon

3. Provide strict restrictions/ discourage Indian investor to venture any investment business with pakistan

4. Assert in international community that pakistan is a WEAKEST link in Terror and pakistan state / army / ISI has no intention of fighting against terror

5. Use our diplomacy to convince other countries to stop investing in Pakistan

6. Work with US to reduce financial help to Pakistan or either control the money flow in pakistan economy

7. Break down the Hawala channel / rackets .. Not sure this can be done as if this channel is blocked ... how the hell our politician will get the money

8. Put in place stringent anti money laundering laws and provide strict regulations on financial firm

9. Track all high value transactions

10. Do economic reforms to ban all high value cash transaction and made them only electronic. Remove all notes above 100 from Indian currency. Currently ISI and terrorists are planning ( rather successful ) in theri mission of infusing fake currancy notes in Indi8an economy. If we ban the currancy transaction , pepole having black money will have no option than convert into the legal money by depositing in bank. This will lead to high revenue collection to IT department. The money will actaully turn in wealth and will boost our economy

11. implement national ID concepts ( same as SSN in US) so that all person and thier recent transaction can be located . It niwll not be easy for any illegal immigrant to carry out finnacial transactions
