The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) informed the Lok Sabha on Tuesday that global terrorist groups and foreign agencies have been making efforts to radicalise people, however, “inclination towards radical ideologies is miniscule” as compared to the population of the country.
In a written answer, Minister of State for Home Nityanand Rai said the government has made efforts to stop the inclination to radical ideologies owing to various factors, and the efforts by the government include “promotion of composite culture and coexistence among various communities” and “constitutional safeguards to minorities”.
The reply said that radicalisation by the global terrorist groups such as the ISIS and Al-Qaeda is one of the most challenging problems faced by countries all over the world.
