Foreign-Inspired Terrorism Largely Contained in India, Says Home Secretary
· India · Times of India, Hindustan Times
Union Home Secretary Govind Mohan stated that foreign-inspired terrorism has been largely contained across India, with homegrown terrorism nearly eliminated. Speaking in Hyderabad, Mohan noted that militant Naxalism has ended and insurgency in the North East has reached minuscule levels. He identified narcotics, cybercrime, and illegal immigration as the primary ongoing challenges for the Indian Police Service. Meanwhile, Union Home Minister Amit Shah urged BIMSTEC member nations to enhance regional cooperation to disrupt terrorist financing and prevent the establishment of militant safe havens. India maintains a zero-tolerance policy toward terrorism and advocates for peaceful resolution of differences among regional partners.
Why it matters
The assessment signals a shift in India's internal security focus toward emerging threats like cybercrime and narcotics, while the government pushes for a unified regional security front against cross-border militancy.
