ISIS-inspired terror still a threat; Ulemas have vital role in deradicalisation: Ajit Doval

Emphasising that cross-border and ISIS-inspired terrorism continues to pose a threat, National Security Advisory Ajit Doval said on Tuesday that Ulemas have a "vital role" to play in countering radicalisation and extremism by propagating progressive ideas and thought. Doval said the cooperation of the civil society is essential in countering the threat from ISIS-inspired individual terror cells and returnees from theatres like Syria and Afghanistan.
