Several critical aspects of India’s national security, including the attempts by Bangladesh-based terror groups to revive their modules in West Bengal and nearby states, will come up next week when the country’s top security and intelligence brass meets for two days next week in New Delhi.
The top security officials will also discuss the proxy warfare by Pakistan, instances of Indian men being used by Pakistani gangster networks to attack police stations, police officers, offices of political parties, businessmen or celebrities in Punjab, Haryana and elsewhere, the officer cited above said.
People familiar with the development said various topics, like the use of India’s porous borders by anti-India elements to smuggle drugs, arms and explosives, and online radicalisation and recruitment of young men by a Pakistan-backed gangster-terrorist network led by Shahzad Bhatti, will also come up for discussion during the two-day Anti-Terror Conference 2026 of the National Investigation Agency (NIA), which is likely to be held on November 19-20.
