The Bill will amend the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967 while enacting the\u00a0Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Amendment Act, 2019.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Union Minister for Home Affairs, Shri Amit Shah said that:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Terrorist acts are committed not by organizations but by individuals. Declaring an organization as a terrorist organization will not stop the individuals behind it. Not designating individuals as terrorists, would give them an opportunity to circumvent the law and they would simply gather under a different name and keep up their terror activities.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Minister said that only those individuals who participate in terrorist activities, aid those indulging in such activities, propagate the ideology of terrorism and members of known terrorist organizations will be declared as terrorists after this amendment is passed. He added that terrorism is a global problem and the UN along with several other countries, have provisions in their laws to designate individuals as terrorists.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Amendment gives powers to DG, NIA to attach properties acquired from proceeds of terrorism. On this issue, Shri Shah said that this law does not take away powers of the state police. When NIA takes up a case having international and inter-state ramifications, all the facts pertinent to the case are with the NIA, and not with the state police. Currently, the law requires that NIA take prior permission from the respective state DGP to attach the proceeds of terrorism. This delays the process as often such properties are in different states, the Minister added.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Major Highlights:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>the government can notify organizations as terrorist organizations by including them in the First Schedule.<\/li>\n<li>empowers the officers of the National Investigation Agency, of the rank of Inspector or above, to investigate cases<\/li>\n<li>Government can designate &#8220;individuals&#8221;
