Nefarious designs and activities of the ISI in India

The Government is aware of the nefarious designs and activities of the ISI and its agents. During the period 2001-2011 (till 31.7.2011) a total of 174 Pak backed espionage modules were neutralized by Central and State Intelligence and Security agencies.

The Government has been pursuing a well coordinated and multi-pronged approach to tackle the activities of ISI. This inter-alia includes strengthening border management to check illegal cross border activities, strengthening the State and the Central intelligence machinery, close interaction and coordination between different agencies of the Centre and the State Governments for neutralizing plans of militants and ISI/anti-national elements, modernization and upgradation of police and security forces with advanced sophisticated weapon and communication system. 

This was stated by Shri Jitendra Singh, Minister of State in the Ministry of Home Affairs in written reply to a question in the Lok Sabha today. (PIB)
