Politicos react as MHA report says New Delhi under threat of 'aerial strikes' from ISIS

Politicos reacted on Saturday after the Ministry of Home Affairs said that New Delhi is under a serious threat of aerial strikes from different terror outfits, including the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria (ISIS). The report said that security agencies have taken necessary steps to foil any such attacks and have prepared a list of 15 key areas in the Indian capital that they fear might be targeted. The areas under threat, according to the Ministry of Home Affairs, include the Prime Minister's residence, the residences of Home Minister and Vice-President, Rashtrapati Bhavan, Rajpath, India Gate and the CGO Complex that houses the headquarters of key agencies such as the CBI, CISF and BSF. Various objects like Unmanned Air System (UAS), drones, and paramotors could be used to launch these attacks, the ministry said. The security agencies have been instructed to shoot down any unidentified or suspicious flying object once it is declared 'non-friendly' by the India Air Force (IAF).
