Modi govt's special order to prison authorities for inmates who can try to 'radicalise' others

The Narendra Modi government has issued special instructions to prison authorities in all states and Union Territories regarding inmates who may try to radicalise others.

The Union Home Ministry has reportedly said that "inmates inclined towards propagating the ideology of radicalization, and those who have the propensity and potential to negatively influence other inmates" should be kept in separate enclosures.

The government also advised jail administrations to organise special de-radicalisation sessions.

Similarly, the MHA advised that the inmates who are in custody for offences related to "narcotics and smuggling of drugs" also be lodged separately, and to the extent possible, not allowed to mix with other inmates.
