Civil Defence Urged as AQIS Threats Rise, Says PK Sahgal

PK Sahgal, a veteran defence commentator, warned that the newly identified AQIS network is attempting to establish a foothold in India. Citing a United Nations‑verified NIA report, he said the attack near the Red Fort was linked to AQIS operatives. While earlier threats came from groups like LET, Jaish‑e‑Mohammad and Khalistani militants, the AQIS connection signals a more complex challenge. Sahgal stressed that bolstering civil defence infrastructure now is essential for national security and unity.
