Govt to combat support for terrorism, armed insurgents

THE Constitution stated that the Union is the ultimate owner of all lands and all natural resources above and below the ground, above and beneath the water and in the atmosphere in the Union. Moreover, the relevant laws for State-owned natural resources are enacted following the stipulation of the Constitution – the Union shall enact necessary laws to supervise the extraction and utilization of State-owned natural resources by economic forces, and the exploration of natural resources is permitted under the respective laws. 

However, the rapacious business elements extracted the State-owned natural resources unlawfully taking advantage of terrorist attacks and armed insurgency in certain regions of the country to provide terrorist groups and armed insurgents. In extracting the State-owned natural resources unlawfully, it is also found that the poor locals who do not understand the law are persuaded with financial incentives in extracting processes. Such doings are supposed to be encouragement for violence under the Counter Terrorism Law, and so, those working in unlawful extraction should be aware of it.

The government will expose and take effective actions against those extracting the State-owned natural resources to provide terrorist groups and armed insurgents. Therefore, the people should avoid working in the illegal extraction of natural resources that encourage and support terrorist groups and armed insurgents.
