NEW DELHI: India has asked Russia for technical help in monitoring ISIS activity on the internet and also appealed to Russia to support India on international forums like the UN Security Council and FATF to corner Pakistan. This is significant given increasing closeness between Russia and Pakistan in military and diplomatic ties. India’s requests were communicated to the Minister of Interior of the Russian Federation, Vladimir Kolokoltsev by Home Minister Rajnath Singh in a meeting on Monday. India has informed Russia of Pakistan terror groups like LeT and Jaish-e-Mohammad being actively backed by Pakistan’s ISI and has appealed to Russia to raise the same with Pakistan during bilateral talks between both those countries. India has also shared a wanted list of at least 20 terrorists hiding in Pakistan, including the IC-814 accused, with Russia and pointed out that 17 terror camps are being run from Pakistani soil. India has specifically appealed to Russia, which is a permanent member of the UN Security Council, to support India at the forum when India raises the role of Pakistani state agencies in fomenting trouble in India by sponsoring terror activities here. India has also asked for help from Russia in the area of monitoring ISIS activities on the Internet — Russia which has seen nearly 2000 of its nationals join the ISIS or influenced by it has a state-of-the-art cyber monitoring system to check such radicalisation. India has asked for technical help in this regard and also asked for cooperation in form of real-time information available with Russia regarding any Indians joining the ISIS from Gulf countries. The Russian side represented by a 7-member delegation meanwhile asked for joint cooperation in areas of law enforcement activity in Russia and India, counter-terrorism issues, measures against extremism and acts of crime in the sphere of high technologies and IT including cyber crime.
