Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation, Shri Amit Shah, addressed the conference on ‘Extradition of Fugitives: Challenges and Strategies’ organised by Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI) as the Chief Guest in New Delhi today. The event was attended by several dignitaries, including the Union Home Secretary, Foreign Secretary, Director of the Intelligence Bureau, and Director of the Central Bureau of Investigation (CBI).In his address, Union Home Minister and Minister of Cooperation Shri Amit Shah said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi, our country is moving forward with confidence on the global stage. He emphasized that ensuring all dimensions of national security has become extremely crucial. He said that while maintaining a zero-tolerance policy against corruption, crime, and terrorism within the country, we must also adopt a zero-tolerance approach towards those operating such activities from beyond India’s borders. It is our responsibility to bring all such criminals under the purview of Indian laws and to create a robust mechanism for this purpose. The Home Minister said that this conference, with the provisions available under Interpol and three new criminal laws, is a concerted effort to enable the presence of a fugitive criminal before Indian courts and also provides a roadmap for achieving the same.  The Union Home Minister said that, acting on the suggestion he had made about a year and a half ago, the CBI has implemented the concept of fugitive extradition on the ground, and the organization deserves appreciation for this
