New Delhi (IINA) – India said Wednesday that it can undertake operations against the Islamic State (IS) terror group under a UN flag if the global body adopts a resolution in this regard, the Indian Express daily reported.
Defense Minister Manohar Parrikar, who has returned after a crucial meeting with his US counterpart Ashton Carter in Washington, also said that India has been sharing intelligence on the IS and it will be enhanced. “We have made it clear that if there is a UN resolution and if there is UN flag and a UN mission, then as per India’s policy to operate under UN flag, we will participate,” Parrikar told reporters here when asked about the possibility of India’s participation in operations against the IS.
India had earlier this month, along with major world economies, participated in the first-ever global meeting held in Paris to discuss and evolve mechanisms to combat the clandestine and largely undetected terrorist financing network of the IS terror group.
Indian security establishment suggests that around 20 Indians are currently fighting for IS in Iraq and Syria.
