ISIS-K Threat in Meghalaya Sparks Demand for Central Probe
A group in Meghalaya, India, called CoMSO, is very worried because someone put up a poster near a college.
The poster said that the Garo people, who live in certain areas, should leave their homes by 2027.
The poster even mentioned a scary group called ISIS-K.
CoMSO thinks this is a big threat and wants the central government to investigate.
They want the police to catch the people who did this and make sure everyone is safe.
The Garo people are scared, but CoMSO says their land is important and part of India, and they need protection.
CoMSO demanded a central probe into the alleged ISIS-K threat against the Garo people in Meghalaya.
A poster near Tura Law College warned the Garo community to vacate their ancestral land by 2027.
CoMSO seeks involvement of counter-terror and intelligence agencies for a comprehensive investigation.
The state police have launched an investigation into the threat.
CoMSO emphasized the need for visible security deployment and protection of indigenous land and rights.
