Prime Minister Narendra Modi addressed ‘No Money for Terror’ Ministerial Conference in New Delhi. He stressed that all terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action and noted that the intensity of the reaction to the various attacks cannot be based on its place of occurrence.
He also said that “Certain countries support terrorism as part of their foreign policy” and stressed the need to “pursue terrorists, break their support networks and hit their finances”. Notably, Pakistan skipped the key meet
“We consider that even a single attack is one too many. Even a single life lost is one too many. So, we will not rest till terrorism is uprooted. In today’s world, ideally, there should be no need for anyone to remind the world of the dangers of terrorism. However, there are still certain mistaken notions about terrorism in some circles,” PM Modi said.
His remarks came at the third Ministerial Conference on Countering Financing of Terrorism in the national capital.
“The intensity of the reaction to different attacks cannot vary based on where it happens. All terrorist attacks deserve equal outrage and action. Uprooting terrorism needs a larger, proactive, systemic response, If we want our citizens to be safe, we cannot wait until terror comes to our homes. We must pursue terrorists, break their support networks and hit their finances,” PM Narendra Modi said at ‘No Money for Terror’ Conference in Delhi.
He also said that certain countries support terrorism as part of their foreign policy.
“Well known that terrorist organisations get money through several sources-one is state support. Certain countries support terrorism as part of their foreign policy. They offer political, ideological and financial support to them.”
“It is important that we jointly address the problem of radicalisation and extremism. Anyone who supports radicalisation should have no place in any country,” he said while urging all countries to come together against extremism.
