ISIS failed in India despite large Muslim population: Rajnath


New Delhi, Jun 3 (PTI): India has the largest Muslim population in the world but ISIS had been unable to establish itself in the country, Home Minister Rajnath Singh said here today.

Singh was giving a report card of his ministry on the completion of three years of the Narendra Modi government.

"We have strived to provide security for the nation, with full responsibility," he said at a press conference.

He said 90 ISIS sympathisers had been arrested across the country.

Singh said ISIS and Ansar Ul Ammah have been included in the list of terrorist organisations.

According to the minister, there had been a 25 per cent reduction in Naxal attacks in 2014-17 as compared to 2011-14 (UPA tenure). He also said three years of NDA government had seen a 42 per cent reduction in deaths in Naxal attacks as compared to last three years of the UPA.

Singh said there was 45 per cent reduction in infiltration from Pakistan in the six months post-surgical strike at the Line of Control in September last year as compared to the corresponding period the previous year.

The minister said the government would put an end to Pakistan-sponsored terrorism and ensure peace in Jammu and Kashmir.

    BJP cannot take credit for the failure of ISIS in India. For the past 70 years Congress and its allies were in power. Congress's policy, which the BJP denounced as pseudo-secularism and minority appeasement, was to treat minorities as equal citizens. The BjP strategy is to treat religious minorities as aliens in India. The BJP policies are designed to alienate religious minorities and set communities against each other. India would be Kashmir writ large if India had been ruled by the RSS/BJP for the last 70 years.

    Whether Christians-Hindus or Muslims, they are having varying attitude and lifestyle in different countries. Indian Muslims never showed any anti-Jewish sentiment but see what is going on in the middle east? The current RSS Government is causing frictions in the mindset of all the minorities, and they will be answerable for their unethical use of religion for political gain.

    you are right... large Muslim population in india and unfortunately they still called as minorities and enjoy all the privileges. Now I am hearing many muslim communal leaders asking "Who the hell told India is a Hindu Country" ... very soon Hindu's will be minorities and Muslims will drive this country registering this as an Islam country. But I bet there will not be any such privileges for Hindus... it will be like gulf countries where hindu live mum. Courtesy Congress Party.

    It is very unfortunate that people associate ISIS with Islam and muslims.
    ISIS is not following Islam . It is clearly some non islamic organisation having islam as its name.

    Similar statement was also given during UPA-2 if you have brains to remember, ISIS couldn't do anything till date apart from recruiting few from peace loving community and most of them are either killed in middle east or currently in Indian Jails eating their own shit.... The day ISIS attacks India, I feel it will be the end of ISIS once for all

    Then why don't you fight against ISIS and support who are fighting against it. You all rejoice privately whenever there is blast claimed by ISIS. You, your brothers and sisters are joining ISIS as if it is quranic duty. Is it a cover up or your guilt to say Israel is the creator????....

    Israel didn't create ISIS. you should know some facts before posting :
    ISIS was created when US invaded Iraq & messed with Syria regime changing at that time they trained Syrian soldiers to expel Assad. These trained private paramilitary took advantage & created themselves as ISIS. US learnt from mistakes also UK who had hands in it. blame Hillary, Obama. trump is now fixing what went wrong.

    Social fabric of our great nation is very strong and virtually unbreakable...
    Time and again we have faced challenges imposed by divisive politics...
    But common people have lived in defiance and in reasonable harmony...
    Scattered incidents have taken place and may continue to do so...
    But integrity of India will be intact mainly due to the cohesiveness of masses...

If Government is not working against terrorism your family would not have get good sleep and you would not have worked in Qatar with mental peace. Just look what you did to country rather that what country did to you.
