Need to isolate terrorists and their supporters: Modi
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Tuesday said terrorists and people supporting terrorism need to be "isolated" and all humanitarian forces should make "collective" efforts to fight the scourge."There is a threat to humanity from terrorism. Traditions might be different, but humanitarian forces should come together. And all humanitarian forces should speak in one voice and make collective efforts," Modi said at a joint press meet with German Chancellor Angela Merkel, with whom he held wide-ranging talks here.
"Earlier when we used to talk about terrorism, people used to say it is a law and order problem. Now they have realized how big a threat it is," he said.
In an apparent reference to Pakistan, the prime minister said: "Pressure should be created on governments who give shelter to terrorists. If we can make this effort and isolate terrorists and people supporting terrorists..."
He also pitched for the United Nations to pass a resolution defining terrorism.
"There is a proposal pending for a long time where there is a need to define terror. I would request the United Nations to pass the resolution and define terror. Only then we can unite people opposing terrorism," he said.
Modi said Chancellor Merkel's stand on terrorism was as clear as India's.
