NEW DELHI:
Jurists must play an important role to ensure justice to the victims of terror and to the persons implicated in such crimes, President Pranab Mukherjee has said.
“Jurists must play an important role in ensuring that the wheels of justice move faster — both to give justice to the victims of terrorism and to persons wrongly accused of crimes they may not have committed,” the President said.
In his message, Mukherjee greeted the organisers and the participants at the ‘International Conference of Jurists and Writers on International Terrorism’ which is to be held tomorrow in Mumbai.
“Terrorism has no religion, philosophy or ideology. There should be zero tolerance towards terrorism. All countries of the world must get together and chalk out a joint, effective strategy to defeat terrorists.
“Deploying state-of-art information and communication technologies, harnessing better intelligence and drawing greater cooperation from the people could be key measures in this regard,” he said.
Chief Justice of India (CJI) H L Dattu also extended his greetings to the participants and said the topic is of “utmost importance in the contemporary world which transcends national boundaries”. (AGENCIES)
