Modi 3.0 Government: According to a sensational report of the United Nations, the dreaded terrorist group Islamic State (ISIL/Daesh) was planning to carry out large-scale attacks in India, but was unable to do so due to the vigilance and effective security measures of the Modi government. However, the masters of this terrorist organization attempted to carry out 'lone actor' attacks through supporters based in the country.What are 'lone actor' attacks?'Lone actor' attacks are those violent incidents which are carried out by individuals who are not part of any organized terrorist group. These attackers do not follow the direct orders of any terrorist organization, but carry out attacks inspired by their ideology.ISIL and its global intentionsThe 35th report of the United Nations Analytical Support and Sanctions Monitoring Team states that ISIL, Al Qaeda and their affiliates are changing their strategy due to external anti-terrorism pressure. ISIL aims to establish a "caliphate" in West Asia and is also known as the 'Islamic State' or 'Daesh'.What is in the UN report?The UN report mentioned that ISIL failed to carry out widespread attacks in India, but despite this, it tried to promote 'lone actor' attacks through its supporters. The report also pointed out that the ISIL-backed 'Al-Jauhar' media continued propaganda against India through its publication Seerat ul-Haq.Terrorist groups active in AfghanistanAccording to the report, more than two dozen terrorist groups are active in Afghanistan. UN member states believe that instability will continue in the region and internationally due to the security threat posed by Afghanistan.Global threat posed by DaeshThe 20th report of UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres also said that the situation of global peace and security remains serious due to the threats posed by Daesh.The vigilance of India's security agenciesThe vigilance of the Modi government and India's security agencies has played an important role in preventing large-scale terrorist activities. India's tight security system and vigilance foiled the plans of terrorists, ensuring the safety of the countrymen.ConclusionThis report of the United Nations makes it clear that terrorist organizations are constantly plotting to attack India, but due to the strict monitoring and security measures of the government, they are not able to succeed in their plans. India needs to be alert to such threats and further strengthen its security strategies.
