India's Biggest Terror Plot Since 26/11: 'White-Collar' Radicals, Drones & Cross-Border Links
This special report examines a major terror plot, described as the largest since the 26/11 attacks, uncovered by Indian security forces. The discussion, featuring host Gaurav Sawant with Union Home Minister Amit Shah, India Today's Sandeep Unnithan, former High Commissioner Veena Sikri, strategic analyst Brahma Chellaney, and former DGMO General Vinod Bhatia, delves into the scale of the conspiracy, which involved plans for VBIEDs, suicide attacks, and drone strikes. The programme explores the role of educated, 'white-collar' professionals in the module, the cross-border terror nexus involving Pakistan and Bangladesh, and the challenges for India's internal security apparatus. Professor Brahma Chellaney states, 'Here, in this case, healers turned into agents of death.' The experts also analyse the need to dismantle the terror ecosystem, including overground workers and financial networks, to counter future threats.
