NEW DELHI: President Pranab Mukherjee today asked world leaders to come together to defeat the meance of terrorism, which has “no ideology” and only believes in “wanton destruction of humanity”.
Terrorism, the President said, has assumed such proportions as are difficult for individual nations to tackle.
“Terrorism has no ideology except the wanton destruction of humanity. We need to deal with this menace in order to leave a safer world for the coming generations,” the President was quoted in an official statement as saying at the function organised by Asian Forum on Global Governance, an outfit formed by former Union minister Shashi Tharoor.
The President said global governance is not just about maintaining peace as here were many challenges that needed to be tackled.
“Manifold challenges are staring at us such as poverty, hunger, disease and exploitation of the resources of mother earth,” he said, adding global governance is a concept that has come to acquire increasing significance today. (AGENCIES)
