Islamic countries backing India in fight against terror:

India is getting "abundant" support of Islamic countries in the fight against terror, Union Home Minister Rajnath Singh said here on Friday.

The government, led by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, has decided with pertinacity that the time has come to wage a decisive battle against terrorism in the wake of the Pulwama attack, he said.

"I am very happy to tell you that we are getting abundant support from the Islamic countries of the world," he said.

The Organisation of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) has, for the first time, invited India's foreign minister as a guest of honour in its ongoing meeting, Singh noted.

It is a pleasing thing that all nations of the world are coming onto one platform on the question of terrorism, he said.

All feel that a decisive battle should be fought against terrorism, he said.

Terrorism has no caste, creed or religion but sometimes, there would be some who try to associate it with some religion which is not appropriate, he added.

The Home Minister was speaking after inaugurating two new office-cum-housing complexes of the NIA here and Guwahati, built by NBCC India at a cost of about Rs 77 crore.

Appreciating NIA for its effective functioning, the Union Minister said the conviction rate of NIA is 92 per cent.

"It means, the conviction rate (of NIA) is 92 per cent. It's a matter of pride for all us," he said.

Noting that the government has given approval to open a research cell on terror-group Islamic State (ISIS), he said, "We have also given approval to the NIA to set up a research cell on the ISIS."
