New Delhi, November 18
Giving a clarion call for uprooting terrorism by chocking all forms of support system, including financing and radicalisation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Friday lamented that certain countries supported the menace as part of their foreign policy.
In his inaugural address to the third edition of ‘No Money for Terror’ (NMFT) international ministerial conference, Modi asserted that there “must be a cost imposed on countries that support terrorism”.
“The world needs to unite against all kinds of covert and overt backing of terrorism by individuals, organisations or any of the states,” he said.
Modi insisted that there should be no need for anyone to remind the world of the dangers of terrorism. “The long-term impact of terrorism is particularly hard on the poor and on the local economy,” he said, adding that all forms of terrorist attacks “deserve equal outrage and action, as uniform, unified and zero-tolerance approach only can defeat terrorism”
