Delhi advisory on ISIS attack |
India`s home minister Rajnath Singh y said India was alert to the threat from Islamic State (ISIS), close on the heels of a central advisory warning all states and Union territories about the possibility of an ISIS-sponsored action on Indian soil. ISIS is not athreat for any particular country, but for the entire world. India is alert about ISIS, Rajnath added.His statement comes in the wake of the security agencies scaling up the threat perception from ISIS in the light of the Paris attacks and India`s declaration of its support to France`s retaliatory strikes on ISIS territory. Though the ISIS has not been able to establish any significant presence in India, its success in radicalizing some youth, attracting certain sections of the local population or the Indian diaspora to physically participate in its activities or the possibility of piggy-backing on terrorist groupsoperating in India have opened up the possibility of ISIS-sponsored terrorist action on Indian territory," said the advisory.
