All necessary measures have been taken to counter the threat posed by the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria, ISIS. Minister of State for Home Haribhai Parathibhai Chaudhary informed the House that the National Investigation Agency, NIA, has arrested 24 accused from Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, Uttar Pradesh, Madhya Pradesh, Maharashtra and Jammu and Kashmir so far.<br/><br/> ISIS funding in India is mostly through a self-financing mechanism. The hawala channel has also been used in one or two instances to raise funds. The ISIS uses various internet-based platforms to propagate its ideology.
