No intelligence inputs on threats from Taliban: Minister

Issue No. 23-24 | December 01-31, 2012

The central intelligence agencies have no specific inputs indicating threat from Taliban. However, the available intelligence inputs indicate abiding interest of militant outfits like Lashkar-e-Taiba (LeT), Indian Mujahideen (IM), Babbar Khalsa International (BKI) and Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) to carry out acts of terrorist violence in India, according to R.P.N. Singh, Minister of State for Home Affairs.

There exists a very close and effective coordination amongst intelligence agencies at the Centre and the state levels. Intelligence inputs about possible designs and threats are shared with the state governments concerned on a regular basis. The Multi Agency Centre (MAC) has been strengthened and reorganised to enable it to function on 24 x 7 basis for real time collation and sharing of intelligence with other intelligence agencies and security intelligence inputs are shared with the concerned states through the established mechanism, which ensures close coordination and sharing of intelligence and seamless flow of information between the states and Central security and law enforcement agency. This has resulted in busting of terrorist modules.
