New Delhi, Oct 22: The National Investigation Agency (NIA) has been enlisted by the Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) to find the module after receiving information about a pervasive network run by Al Qaeda in the Indian Subcontinent (AQIS) in various Assam districts.
The NIA’s First Information Report (FIR) states unequivocally that the AQIS module was “active in different districts of Assam” and had ties to the terrorist group Ansarullah Bangla Team, which is based in Bangladesh (ABT).
According to reports, AQIS, a branch of the outlawed terrorist group Al Qaeda, is active in Afghanistan, Pakistan, India, Myanmar, and Bangladesh. It was founded in 2014. The gang wants to carry out jihad to create an Islamic state.
“The objective of the module is to propagate terror in Indian territory, radicalise likeminded youth and carry out recruitment to wage war against the Union of India, with a view to overthrow the democratically elected government by establishing the ‘Rule of Khilafat’ (Sharia Law) in India as well as to wage war against Bangladesh, an Asiatic neighbour on friendly terms with India and to implement ‘Ghazwa-e-Hind’, with the help of recruits from India” the FIR says.
