New Delhi, Jan 17: Signalling to the legal community of south-east Asia to enact laws to rein in Jehadi elements, Deputy Prime Minister L K Advani today said these elements operating from India's immediate neighbourhood were trying to disrupt peace and progress of business in the region. Speaking at the fifth Law Asia Business Law Conference, he, without mentioning the name of Pakistan, said certain countries in complete violation of the united nations resolution to fight against terrorism were actively helping them to disrupt the multi-religious harmony prevailing in the region. Naming India, Japan and China as emerging business powers, Advani said this trend could not touch many countries in the region unless the Jehadi elements, who have shifted their base from Afghanistan to the immediate neighbourhood of India and were spreading their tentacles in many countries, were tackled legally. "The legal fraternity of the region will play a crucial role in enacting laws to choke the financial channels to these elements," he said while mentioning the need for checking the illegal transfer of money and tax evasions of other white-collar crime syndicates affecting economies of many nations in the region.
