India has had first-hand experience of crime syndicates venturing into terrorism and then getting “state hospitality” in a neighbouring country despite being blacklisted by the UN, India’s Permanent Representative to the UN, Ambassador Ruchira Kamboj said on August 9, in a veiled reference to D-company head Dawood Ibrahim who is believed to be in Pakistan, reports Daily Excelsior. “Linkages between terrorism and organised crime need to be addressed. In India, we have had first-hand experience of crime syndicates venturing into terrorism and immediately thereafter getting state hospitality in a neighbouring country despite being listed under the UNSC 1267 Sanctions Committee,” she said. Kamboj said “such hypocrisy needs to be collectively called out, when the threat of terrorism looms large in each of our countries.”
