JAIPUR: In an obvious reference to Pakistan, President Pranab Mukherjee today asked the world to proscribe nations that support or sponsor terrorism as an instrument of state policy.
Asserting there is no good or bad terrorism, Mukherjee termed it as a “cancer which must be operated out with a firm scalpel” and world, in one voice, reject all its manifestations, without distinction.
“It is imperative that the world in one voice rejects all manifestations of terrorism, without distinction, and proscribes States that support or sponsor terrorism as an instrument of State policy,” he said after inaugurating the second edition of counter-terrorism conference organised by the India Foundation in collaboration with Government of Rajasthan.
Senior BJP leader Ram Madhav is member, Board of Directors of the India Foundation.
Terming the 9/11 terror attack in the US as a watershed moment, the President said the country needs to carefully examine and learn lessons from the success and failures of counter terrorism strategies followed since then. (AGENCIES)
