XIAMEN, CHINA : In a major diplomatic victory for India, four other BRICS member-states for the first time bracketed Pakistan-based Lashkar-e-Taebbya (LeT), Jaish-e-Mohammed (JeM), and Haqqani network with the Islamic State, paving the way for strong future action against these globally outlawed terror outfits.The BRICS, acknowledging India’s long-standing concern over terrorism , took a collective decision to name these outfits in their joint declaration, moving forward from the Goa BRICS Summit when China had opposed the move to expressly identify these Pakistan-based and supported outfits as terror groups.ET was the first to report Monday that hectic and last-minute negotiations are ongoing to name Lashkar-e-Taebbya, Jaish-e-Mohammed, Haqqani network and Taliban as terror outfits by BRICS member states when they adopt their declaration following the ninth edition of the Summit hosted by China in this picturesque coastal city. China is sought to have earned India’s confidence by agreeing to name these terror groups in the BRICS declaration amid the 75-day Doklam standoff.“We, in this regard, express concern on the security situation in the region and violence caused by the Taliban, ISIL/DAISH, Al-Qaida and its affiliates, including Eastern Turkistan Islamic Movement, Islamic Movement of Uzbekistan, the Haqqani network, Lashkar-e-Taiba Jaish-e-Mohammad , TTP and Hizb ut-Tahrir,” announced the BRICS declaration following the summit of the five leaders, marking a year-long step-by-step negotiations among the five BRICS member states.The declaration now increases the onus on China to support the UN proposal to ban Jaish chief Maulana Masood Azhar, something Beijing has been blocking since 2009-10.The PM in his remarks at the restricted format of the BRICS leaders on Monday morning suggested ‘BRICS Counter Terrorism Strategy for Joint Action’. ET has learnt that the PM proposed certain areas of action – money laundering, terrorist finance, FATF, cyber space and a BRICS initiative on de-radicalisation and an international conference on deradicalization in India that also included five member states. India has offered to take the lead in all these initiatives, according to people familiar with the developments.On China’s readiness to name terror groups in the BRICS declaration, Secretary (East) MEA Preeti Saran said: “All BRICS nations are victims of terror. One cannot have double standards in fighting the scourge. The BRICS nations have been victims of terror and they have decided to work collectively.”India was the architect of this initiative to name these terror outfits in the Summit Declaration. “This was possible following deft negotiations led by MEA officials. China had to agree to India’s long-standing demand. The timing and venue of the declaration is important as this raises China’s accountability in taking a strong stand on cross-border terrorism,” noted a person familiar with the developments.“We deplore all terrorist attacks worldwide, including attacks in BRICS countries, and condemn terrorism in all its forms and manifestations wherever committed and by whomsoever and stress that there can be no justification whatsoever for any act of terrorism. We reaffirm that those responsible for committing, organizing, or supporting terrorist acts must be held accountable,” said the declaration adopted Monday.The BRICS further called upon all nations to adopt a comprehensive approach in combating terrorism, which should include countering radicalization, recruitment, and movement of terrorists, blocking sources of financing terrorism, dismantling terrorist bases, and countering misuse of the Internet.“We call for swift and effective implementation of relevant UNSC Resolutions and the FATF International Standards worldwide. We seek to intensify our cooperation in FATF and FATF-style regional bodies (FSRBs). We recall the responsibility of all States to prevent financing of terrorist networks and terrorist actions from their territories,” the declaration said, taking a dig at Pakistan."BRICS countries showed their concern to the violent activities raised by these organizations. These organizations are all sanctioned by the UN Security Council and have a significant impact for Afghanistan issues," the Chinese Foreign Ministry said in a statement, referring to the situation in Afghanistan.The Xiamen declaration is a boost for India after the US designated Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) chief as a global terrorist and subsequently named HM as a global terror organisation.The eighth edition of the BRICS Summit last October in Goa had expressed solidarity with India in the backdrop of the Uri attacks and called for ‘comprehensive approach’ in countering international terror. Back then, PM Narendra Modi , in an indirect but strong jibe at Pakistan, had described it as the “mother-ship” of terrorism. But a consensus on the inclusion of names of terror groups could not be achieved.
