The European Union has added the militant group 'Khalistan Zindabad Force' to its terrorist list, within days of an EU-India meeting on counter terrorism held in Brussels.
A comprehensive inter-ministerial Indian delegation headed by Hamid Ali Rao and the Deputy Director General of the Indian Narcotics Bureau Rajiv Walia participated in the meeting with EU troika -- Germany, France and Britain -- headed by the EU Counter Terrorism Coordinator Gijs De Vries on December 12.
All the 25 EU member states must freeze all assets of the groups or persons on the terrorist list.
In November, the EU put Hizbul Mujahideen, a Jammu and Kashmir-based militant outfit on its list of terrorist organisations.
