India Calls 'Rubbish' Alleged ISIL Plans to Trigger War in Country

The Indian Home Ministry on Wednesday referred to as "rubbish" the document, allegedly belonging to ISIL, which contains plans to trigger a conflict in India.

NEW DELHI (Sputnik) — The Indian Home Ministry on Wednesday referred to as "rubbish" the recently emerged document, allegedly belonging to the ISIL jihadist group, which contains plans to trigger a conflict in India, a ministry’s spokesman said Wednesday.

Earlier in the day, USA Today reported, citing what is believed to be an ISIL document found in Pakistan, that preparations for a terrorist attack to provoke an apocalyptic confrontation between India and the United States are underway.

“It is rubbish. The document, if reports are to be believed, is the handiwork of senseless ISIL men,” M A Ganapathy said on Wednesday.

On Saturday, senior sources in the Indian Home Ministry told Sputnik that the Indian security services have launched a special operation to protect Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi from a possible threat from ISIL militants during the August 15 Independence Day celebrations in New Delhi.

The ISIL controls large parts of Iraq and Syria, and is notorious for committing numerous human rights atrocities and killings.
