NEW DELHI: Fifty radicalised Indian youths have crossed over to the “other side”, but the Indian ethos and culture have ensured that the country remains largely insulated from the menace, ExterAnal Affairs Minister Sushma Swaraj said today.
The “threat” of radicalisation is not limited to Jammu and Kashmir but all states and the entire world as well, she said in the Lok Sabha.
Responding to supplementary questions during the Question Hour, Swaraj said 50 radicalised Indian youths have crossed over to the “other side (us taraf gaye hain)”. She, however, did not specify where they have gone to.
She said the Centre has already launched an anti- radicalisation programme along with states to ensure that the youths are not misled.
The minister credited the “Indian ethos and culture” for protecting India from the problem so far. She said secularism, the watchful eyes of parents and the belief that violence is not good, have helped the country. (AGENCIES)
