Prime Minister Narendra Modi not only faces threat from terror groups such as Lashkar-e-Taiba, Indian Mujahideen and Hizbul Mujahideen but also from extreme right wing fundamentalist elements. The latest threat perception came to light during the recent International Yoga Day.

While preparing document for PM's security arrangements for International Yoga Day, which was celebrated on June 21, Delhi Police officials added a new threat perception angle. The Delhi Police document under the heading 'Threat Perception and Security Scenario' mentions that extreme right wing fundamentalist elements are annoyed with Prime Minister Narendra Modi's attempts to woo Muslims. Apart from this, conviction of many right wing leaders in cases related to Gujarat riots has also irked the right wing extremists.

"Hon'ble Prime Minister of India faces hight degree of threat from Pakistani Kashmiri terrorits, Indian Mujahideen(IM), Islamist fundamentalist organisations/groups and their collaborators. Inputs also indicate annoyance of extreme right wing fundamentalist elements with the Hon'ble PM of India after his attempts to woo Muslims and conviction of many right wing leaders in cases related to Gujarat riots," the Delhi Police note states.

According to a report, Prime Minister Modi is already under threat from over 40 organisations, including terrorist groups, naxals, north-east insurgents and the underworld, and the new threat perception has added to worries of security agencies.

Intelligence agencies had warned of a possible aerial terror attack during the International Yoga Day celebrations at Rajnath in New Delhi. A circular issued by the Intelligence Bureau said terror organisations may try to create trouble during the main event.

Following the IB alert, Delhi Police banned flying of kites, balloons, glider, micro light objects during the program. Use of drones for aerial photography was also banned to ensure effective defence measures. Roof-top snippers were deployed to shoot down any threatening flying object.

A Republic Day-like security arrangement was put in place for the event, which saw India setting two Guinness World Records. The Delhi Police had put in place a three-tier security blanket for the mega event.
