New Delhi, Apr 10: India has submitted a fresh list of wanted criminals and fugitives to the United Arab Emirates for their extradition, MoS for external affairs Vinod Khanna told Rajya Sabha today. Without disclosing the names of fugitives, Khanna said in a written reply that these alleged criminals were wanted in connection with terrorist offences, economic offences and organised crime.
In reply to another question, his ministerial colleague Digvijay Singh said New Delhi had expressed its strong concern to Washington on the relocation of al Qaeda terrorists, Taliban functionaries and their Pakistani supporters from Afghanistan to Pakistan.
Singh said such relocation would undermine the war against terrorism, including cross-border terrorism in Jammu and Kashmir.
