There were no intelligence inputs to suggest that Al Qaeda and Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS) terror groups have been working together to target Indian cities, parliament was told Wednesday.
Minister of State for Home Affairs Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary told the Lok Sabha that both the terrorist organizations have uploaded videos on internet containing the alleged plight of Muslims in various countries including India but there are no intelligence inputs about specific threat to Indian cities including Bengaluru.
He said that there was a very close and effective coordination amongst intelligence agencies at the central and the state levels on intelligence sharing.
"The intelligence inputs about possible designs and threats are shared with the State Governments concerned on a regular basis," he said,
He also said the Multi Agency Centre (MAC) has been strengthened and re-organized to enable it to function on 24x7 basis for real time collation and sharing of intelligence with other intelligence agencies and states, which ensures seamless flow of information between the state and the central agencies.
This has resulted in busting of many terror modules, thus neutralizing major terror attack plans, he said.
