Sir — Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s visit to the US marks an important milestone with the US declaring Syed Salahuddin, head of the Kashmiri militant group Hizbul Mujahideen, a global terrorist. This will help in choking his movement and financing. First, all terrorists must starve for finance. lack of financial support can deliver a severe blow to the terrorists.
The UN must also take appropriate action against countries that provide financial aid to the terrorists. Declaration on Salahuddin by the US emphasises its commitment to end terror in all forms. The declaration also prohibits the US citizens from engaging in transactions with Salahuddin and that all his property and interests subject to the US’s jurisdiction will be blocked. It is a welcome move.
