Lucknow: Union home minister Rajnath Singh has said that incidents of stone pelting in Kashmir have reduced because of the efforts of the National Investigation Agency (NIA).
Speaking at a function held here on Sunday to inaugurate the new office and residential complex of the NIA, Mr Singh said, “You have seen the role of NIA in Jammu and Kashmir, where incidents of stone pelting have come down. We have taken pledge for India’s security and strict action is being taken for this. We will continue to accept challenges and in the past three years, incidents of Naxalism, terrorism and extremism have seen a downward trend.”
Emphasizing on ‘finishing terror funding sources’, he said that if the sources of fake currency and terror funding are plugged, it will be a big blow to terrorism.
“NIA is investigating cases of terror funding and it is doing a great job here. Its name sends fear down the spine of those indulging in terror funding,” he added.
