ISIS has failed due to our family values: Rajnath Singh

Lucknow: Union home minister Rajnath Singh on sunday said that global terror outfit Islamic State has failed in its attempts to establish roots in India due to strong family values in the society which act as deterrent to radicalisation.

“Today, IS is being talked across the globe. But India is the lone country in the world where it has not been able to establish its roots due to family values of the Indian culture,” he said.

Citing an example, the Union minister said, “A Muslim youth got caught in radicalisation in Mumbai and his parents came to me with the request to save him. Such are the values of our country. I have full faith that IS can never have supremacy in India.”

Singh said it was a miracle of the country’s culture that Imams took out a procession against IS.

“It is our responsibility to preserve this culture. If we can keep it intact, no one can prevent India from becoming a superpower,” he said.

He said that the Britishers attempted to tell that India was cypher, but the concept of zero originated from here.
