UAPA Bill: Amit Shah says it is important to identify terrorists

The Parliament on Friday approved an amendment to the anti-terror law to give powers to the central government to designate an individual as terrorist and seize his properties.

Before the Rajya Sabha took up the matter for voting in today's session, Union Home Minister Amit Shah responded to concerns Opposition had raised with regards to the bill. Shah said that the sole purpose of the UAPA Bill is to fight terror and it has no other ulterior motive.
