Growing activities of ISIS in the sub-continent, radicalisation of youths and anti-terror cooperation will be key issues on the agenda of the India-Bangladesh Home Minister-level talks scheduled to be held here on Thursday.
Home Minister Rajnath Singh will hold the day-long delegation-level talks with his Bangladeshi counterpart Asaduzamman Khan Kamal during which activities of the Middle-East terror group, counter-terror cooperations and ways to check cross-border crimes will be discussed threadbare.
The visit of the Bangladeshi leader comes nearly a month after a grisly terror attack at a Dhaka cafe in which 22 people, including an Indian girl, were killed.
ISIS and anti-terror cooperation are two top issues to be discussed at the bilateral meeting, a Home Ministry official said.
Bangladeshi counter-terror officials, accompanying their Home Minister, will meet officials of the National Investigation Agency while officials of Border Guard Bangladesh will meet their counterparts of Border Security Force.
The Bangladeshi team is expected to give a list of terror suspects who might have been hiding in India to escape that country's security net.
Besides, infiltration, smuggling of narcotics and cattle and a few other issues will be discussed at the meeting.
National Security Advisor Ajit Doval, Union Home Secretary Rajiv Mehrish and Director Generals of Border Security Force and Narcotics Control Bureau will participate in the talks.
The last Home Minister-level talks in India were held in December, 2012 in Bangladesh in January, 2013.
