Islamic State not a threat to India: Rajnath

November 27, 2016 18:43

Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh on Sunday said he does not look terror outfit at terror outfit ISIS as a challenge, as he believes that Muslims in India love their country.

"I'm sure the threat of radicalisation by ISIS won't be an issue in our nation because people who follow Islam in India, love the country," he said.

"I have stated clearly that no innocent should be troubled and none of the offenders should be spared," he added.

Commenting on the three-day long annual DGP conference took place at the Sardar Vallabhbhai Patel National Police Academy in Hyderabad, Singh said they discussed the emerging security scenario, challenges faced by state police and also brainstormed on issues like challenges of terrorism, radicalisation, cyber-crime, road safety and how to improve airport security.

The NIA and state security agencies have so far arrested 68 supporters ISIS in various parts of the country.
