India shares details of Pak-backed terror with Australia

Australia, on the other hand, flagged smuggling of Sri Lankan Tamils from India to Australia.

India shared its experience in dealing with Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and provided details of recent attacks — including Gurdaspur and Udhampur — to Australia, during a meeting of the Joint Working Group on Counter-Terrorism of the two countries. The issue found resonance with the Australian delegation that stated that their “major threats emanate from overseas”.

With plans for increased co-operation on counter-terrorism such as real-time sharing of intelligence between the Intelligence Bureau (IB) and the Australian Secret Intelligence Service (ASIS), the two countries exchanged information on the threat of radicalisation posed by the Islamic State (IS) terror group.

Adil Fayaz, who hails from Kashmir, is believed to have joined the IS after completing his MBA from Australia’s Queensland University. Fayaz’s case came to light when Australian intelligence told the IB last year that he was among some 600 Australian citizens who were serving with terrorists in Syria.

During the meeting here on Thursday, India also raised its concerns over support from a section of the Sikh community in Australia for the Sikh extremist groups. India said that a section of the Sikh community in Australia continued to support the likes of the Sikh Students Federation to the Khalistan Liberation Force. The lobbying by the community to get the killing of Sikhs in 1984 recognised as a ‘genocide’ by the Australian government was also pointed out.

Australia, on the other hand, flagged smuggling of Sri Lankan Tamils from India to Australia.
