Ibrahim, who heads a vast and multifaceted illegal business, has emerged as India's most wanted terrorist after the 1993 Mumbai bombings. The notifications announced sanctions on key figures of terror outfits such as the Jamaat-ud-Dawa (JuD), JeM, Taliban, Daesh, Haqqani Group, al-Qaeda, and others. These terrorists have been barred from transferring money through financial institutions, purchasing of arms and travelling abroad, it said. All states, including Pakistan, are bound to implement the sanctions which include assets freeze, an arms embargo, and travel ban. The legislation was part of the efforts by Pakistan to move from the FATF's grey list to the white list.
