Government today said a close watch is being kept on terror group ISIS by security agencies which have been also directed to identify potential recruits and keep them under surveillance.
In a written reply in the Rajya Sabha the Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parthibhai Chaudhary said the ISIS, also known as ISIL or Daesh, uses both positive and negative imagery to attract recruits around the world.
He said, however, it has influenced and attracted very few youths from India. The National Investigation Agency and police in a few states have registered cases and arrested some active members, he said.
