NEW DELHI: Lashing out at Pakistan for aiding and abetting terrorism, Vice President Venkaiah Naidu on Saturday said the neighbouring country was damaging itself and humanity by these acts, and underscored that global consensus should be built to focus on eradicating the scourge of terrorism.
“Our neighbour is aiding, abetting, funding, training terrorists. They are not able to understand the damage they have done including to the humanity and also to themselves,” Naidu said at an event here, without naming Pakistan.
He said while India wants to be friendly with all countries and neighbours and has never attacked any country, “If somebody wants to do some mischief, we have to answer and for that the country has to be united”.
“We cannot allow nations to encourage terrorist activities and harbour terrorist safe havens and training camps,” he said.
The nation has to work as Team India to build a stronger, more developed country which is capable of defending itself against hostile forces “and disruptive designs like we have demonstrated two days ago in a fitting response to our neighbour’s inaction to check cross border terrorism”, the Vice President said in a reference to recent airstrike against terror camp in Pakistan.
