London: In a veiled reference to Pakistan, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Thursday said there should be a global resolve to “isolate” those who harbour terrorists and willingness to stand with nations fighting them “honestly”.
Addressing MPs in British Parliament’s Royal Gallery, Modi, who is the first Indian Prime Minister to visit the UK in 10 years, said the world must speak in one voice and act in unison to combat terrorism, calling it a “challenge of our times.”
Dwelling on terrorism during his 25-minute speech, Mr Modi said there should be no distinction between terrorist groups or discrimination between nations.
“There should be a resolve to isolate those who harbour terrorists and willingness to stand with nations that will fight them honestly. And, we need a social movement against extremism in countries where it is most prevalent and, every effort to delink religion and terrorism,” he said.
