Rubbish! Parrikar dismisses ISIS threat to PM

January 21, 2016 17:03

Defence Minister Manohar Parrikar dismissed talk of any threat from the Islamic State to his life or that of Prime Minister Narendra Modi.

Last week, an anonymous postcard claimed to have been sent by IS, threatening Prime Minister Modi and Parrikar, was received at the Goa Secretariat.

Parrikar was dismissive about any threat to him or Modi, saying "It [the threat] was [issued] on a 50 paise postcard."

The letter was handed over to the Anti-Terror Squad and the North Goa district police.
