The Union Ministry of Home Affairs has issued a cautionary letter to all state governments, urging increased vigilance against potential communal violence in India.
The warning comes after protests were seen in Jammu and Kashmir and UP's Lucknow following the killing of Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
The Centre has asked state authorities to monitor and identify 'pro-Iran radical preachers giving inflammatory sermons' that could incite unrest or communal tensions within local communities.
The alert from the Home Ministry comes amid a sharp escalation of the conflict in West Asia, especially after the killing of Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.
India has responded to the conflict by urging restraint from all parties and stressing the importance of safeguarding the safety of its citizens, including many residing in the Gulf.
