Indian youths attracted to ISIS a matter of concern: Rajnath Singh

Singh also blamed "state actors" in Pakistan for attempts to destabilise India and said it has not abandoned its efforts to harm the country through "various tactics".

Speaking a day after a Mumbai youth returned home after a stint with ISIS in Iraq, he said although the terror group was born out of Syria and Iraq, the Indian sub-continent cannot remain untouched by this menace which should be understood.

"It is also a matter of concern that some Indian youths have been attracted to ISIS. We cannot take it lightly. We take it as a challenge" he said addressing a conference of the DGPs and IGPs here.

Singh said arrest of Arif Majeed, who returned to Mumbai after disappearing in ISIS controlled areas in Iraq, was not an action to harass him, asserting that all such incidents will be taken on a case-by-case basis.
