India’s Prime Minister Urges SCO to Crush Terror Funding Networks

New Delhi – In a pointed address to the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO), India’s prime minister called for a decisive breakup of the financial, recruitment and radicalisation channels that sustain terrorism. He warned that no group or state should be allowed to treat terror as a “strategic asset,” and urged the bloc to act swiftly to eliminate safe‑havens across the region.

The leader’s remarks came amid growing concern over the spill‑over of extremist activity from Afghanistan into neighboring countries, a development that directly impacts South‑Asian diaspora communities worldwide. By pressing the SCO – which includes China, Russia and several Central Asian nations – to tighten controls on money flows and recruitment pipelines, New Delhi hopes to curb the cross‑border networks that have previously facilitated attacks on Indian soil.

The prime minister also emphasized the need for a stable, peaceful Afghanistan, arguing that regional security cannot be achieved without dismantling the ecosystem that fuels militant groups. He appealed to SCO members to coordinate intelligence sharing and financial regulations, signaling India’s readiness to collaborate on a comprehensive anti‑terror strategy.

For diaspora readers, the call underscores how geopolitical moves in Eurasia shape safety and communal cohesion back home, making vigilance and cooperation across borders essential.
