JIHADIST terror group Isis has claimed a “province” in India for the first time, indicating a possible shift in the group’s focus after being defeated in Iraq and Syria.

Police in India-administrated Kashmir dismissed the claims as “pure propaganda” as the death cult seeks to exploit regional tensions and political instability.

The announcement of the province, which Isis has called “Wilayah of Hind,” followed clashes between the jihadists and Indian soldiers in the town of Amshipora in India-administered Kashmir’s Shopian district on Friday.
