The ministry also listed efforts made by the government to ensure that radical elements do not gain ground.
Radicalisation by global terror groups like ISIS and Al Qaida is a global phenomenon and India too is facing challenges relating to it as enemy countries are trying to radicalise the youth, the Ministry of Home Affairs said today.
This gains significance as the National Investigating Agency, or NIA, is probing both Udaipur and Amravati murder cases in the suspicion that ISIS-type "self-radicalised" terror groups might be involved in these two cases.
"In the Indian context, some foreign agencies inimical to India along with global terrorist groups have been making efforts to radicalise people. However, inclination towards radical ideologies is minuscule as compared to the population of the country," Minister of State for Home Affairs Nityanand Rai said.
In fact, to counter the narrative that radicalisation is gaining ground, the Centre on Tuesday informed Lok Sabha that the government has ensured constitutional safeguards to minorities and that's why there is not much affinity for such ideologies.
