Although the ultimate goal for countries fighting the terrorist organization is the same, their views on the future of Syria is different. Another focus is the open conflict between India and Pakistan, which may be exacerbated at any time. So, if radical groups financed by Pakistan made some attempt in India, this will soon respond.
