Centre bans ISIS as terrorist organization

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 26 Februari 2015 | 22.44

NEW DELHI: The Centre has notified Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) as a banned terrorist organisation under the Unlawful Activities (Prevention) Act, 1967, stating that it is involved in radicalization and recruitment of vulnerable youth from various countries including India.

This comes in the wake of at least four Muslim youth from Mumbai joining the ISIS and moving to Iraq/Syria last year to fight its "global war".

While one of the ISIS recruits from Kalyan, Mumbai, has returned and is currently in custody in a case registered by the NIA, intelligence agencies say that another youth has been killed in Iraq. The two remaining youth are still in the ISIS territory.

Banned under First Schedule of the UAPA, "Islamic State/Islamic State of Iraq and Levant/Islamic State of Iraq and Syria/Daish, and all its manifestations" is the latest entrant to the list of 38 outfits declared as "terrorist organizations" in India.

Though ISIS, for all practical reasons, was banned even earlier under the UAPA (Unlawful Activities Prevention Act) by virtue of Islamic State of Iraq and Levant, featuring in the list of terror outfits proscribed by the United Nation (covered under Entry no 33 in the UAPA list), the government felt that there was need to specifically ban the ISIS and all its manifestations.

As per the notification issued by the Union home ministry on February 16, ISIS, a terrorist outfit operating in Iraq and neighbouring countries, has been resorting to terrorist actions to consolidate its position in that area by recruiting youth for 'Global Jihad' to achieve the objective of establishing its own 'Caliphate' by overthrowing democratically elected governments, besides resorting to terrorism in the form of killing innocent civilians and security forces.

"...the central government believes that the Islamic State/Islamic State/Islamic State of Iraq and Levant/Islamic State of Iraq and Syria/Daish is involved in radicalization and recruitment of vulnerable youth from various countries including India....such recruitment of youth to the outfit from India and their radicalization is a matter of serious concern for the country, especially with regard to its likely impact on national security when such youth return to India..the central government is satisfied that the ISIS...is a terrorist organization and has decided to add the said organization and all its manifestations in the First Schedule" of the UAPA," said the notification.
