Radicalisation is going on and it could prove highly detrimental for the country, he added. He said that since all Madaris were not involved in terrorism, but there was an effort to brainwash those studying in them where religion and poverty were exploited. He said that children were recruited for Rs 15,000-20,000 and were indoctrinated to act as suicide bombers. He said that credit goes to Pak forces, who have been able to handle terrorists well and the frequency of suicide bombers reduced in Pakistan gradually.
