• Maldives, india's help, preventing terrorism

  • Maldives said on Sunday that some youths from the country are being recruited by militant outfits based in Pakistan and Afghanistan to wage 'jihad' and sought India's cooperation in preventing "any passage" for these people through the country.
    
    Maldivian vice president Mohammaed Waheed Hassan, who is on a visit here, said an increasing number of youths from his country have started "embracing a version of Islam which is more strict than the traditional Islamic values.
  • "These are students and it is very easy for them to say they are going to puruse education and then...," he said, in an obvious reference to such youths.
  • His remarks come months after Maldivian President Mohamed Nasheed said some Maldivians were being "radicalised" and recruited by the Taliban in Pakistan and Afghanistan to fight the government and coalition forces.
    
    The vice president said Maldives needs young educated youths for its progress and in no way it can import labour for developing infrastructure and other things in the country.
