New Delhi: United Kingdom Home Secretary Suella Braverman said during an anti-insurgency conference that ‘political correctness’ has created a blind spot for ‘Islamic terrorism’ to flourish.

Braverman was speaking at a UK-led counter-terrorism event when she raised concerns about ‘Islamic radicalisation’ in the country. He also targeted Muslim advocacy groups such as MEND (Muslim Engagement and Development) and CAGE, accusing them of spreading “dishonest narratives”.

“Extremism is dangerous not only because it can lead to violence. It is dangerous in itself. And until we deal with it comprehensively, we should not be surprised when it continues to endure and grow – our shared norms values, basic rights and freedoms, with devastating consequences.”
