On 26/11, PM Narendra Modi tells SAARC to fight terror

Kathmandu: On the sixth anniversary of 2008 Mumbai terror attacks, Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Wednesday sought concerted efforts to combat terrorism and transnational crimes which were identified as a major challenge by most of the Saarc leaders at the bloc’s 18th Summit here.

“We feel the endless pain of lost lives. Let us work together to fulfil the pledge we have taken to combat terrorism and transnational crimes,” the Prime Minister said, remembering the victims of Mumbai terror attacks that left 166 people dead and hundred of others injured.

During his nearly 30-minute speech at the Summit, Prime Minister Modi echoed the views of Presidents of Afghanistan and Sri Lanka, who described the menace of terrorism as “fundamental challenge, both regionally and internationally.”
